The 2026
Zill Challenge

May 23 - June 1

A 10-day musical party! Feel confident, creative, and actually excited to pick up your finger cymbals.

You know your zills could add something incredible to your dancing.
But playing and moving at the same time… that's where things sometimes get messy.

What if your playing felt easier?

Your fingers knew exactly what to do
Your steps and your rhythm actually worked together
And instead of thinking about it...You started making music while you dance
✨

That’s exactly what we’re building together inside

The Zill Challenge

A 10-day finger cymbal experience

that feels a little like a party 🎉


Join me and a community of dancers from around the world for 10 days of focused, fun, and totally powerful zill practice.

Each day, you’ll get a short, step-by-step lesson you can do on your own time…and then we’ll come together live to play, ask questions, and keep the momentum going.

And by the end?

You won’t just understand your zills…

You’ll actually be able to dance with them.

This is for you if:

✔ You’ve learned a few zill patterns… but can’t quite use them while dancing
✔ You start strong… but then things falls apart when movement gets added
✔ You want to feel musical—not mechanical
✔ You’re ready to actually enjoy your finger cymbals

Inside The Zill Challenge:

📅 10 days of step-by-step finger cymbal instruction
📩 Daily lesson delivery so you always know what to practice
📖 A guided workbook to track your progress and wins
🤝 A supportive private community cheering you on
🎙️ Live Q&As and check-ins to keep you moving forward
🥳 The Zill Challenge Graduation Party with games and prizes (because of course)

By the end of these 10 days, you’ll:

✨ Play your zills with clarity and confidence

✨ Actually move and play without everything falling apart

✨ Understand the music in a whole new way

✨ Have a sassy zill choreography you can dance anytime

✨ Feel like a musician—not just someone trying to keep up

And maybe most importantly… You’ll feel proud of yourself for doing something that once felt out of reach.

Testimonies

“So excited to be doing this - to be learning how to combine movement WITH playing. I am pretty good with one or the other, but not both simultaneously. What a blast! Thank you!”

- Chandler

“Brain farts and all, I did the thing! Surprised myself. Practice makes progress and I feel proud of how far I’ve come with my courage, confidence, and learning.”

- Cat

“Love the lessons in this challenge. I managed to walk in rhythm through my living room while getting the six sounds with my zills. I’m now practicing the different notes, and I'm happy.”

- Mireille

The Graduation Party 🎉

This isn’t just something you learn…it’s something you celebrate

At the end of the challenge, we come together for a joyful, slightly sparkly, very real dance party where:

You’ll dance the choreography you’ve learned
Play your zills with confidence
Celebrate alongside dancers from around the world
And yes… there will be prizes 😉

It’s the kind of moment where you realize:

“Wait… I can actually DO this!”

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the The Zill Challenge start and finish?
The challenge runs May 23 – June 1, with access through June 2.
I don't have finger cymbals yet? What should I do?
Grab a pair (I recommend Saroyan cymbals). I have a link to my favorites inside. Or start with a DIY option like buttons and elastic so you can jump right in. There's a tutorial inside the challenge so you can make your own!
What music are we dancing to?
This year we’re dancing to Miss Thea’s “Arabic 1,2,3,4”—it’s fun, energizing, and perfect for building your skills.
Do I need to be a good ziller to join?
Absolutely not! While this Challenge is designed for dancers with some zill experience, there are bonus lessons for beginners and options to make it work for you - no matter where you are - every step of the way.
