I love Zumba DVDs but have never taken a live class. The DVDs have cueing, at least the ones that I have. There’s an option for choosing verbal cueing, or not.

I doubt that there's some deep connection here--imagine a world in which cardio classes increasingly resemble one another, cardio videos increasingly resemble one another, and the two formats increasingly diverge. Even so, I couldn't help noticing the contrast.

I have no idea where you are in Chicagoland, but I just looked up my park district schedule (Oak Lawn) and there is actually a kettlebell class! Mind you it is only one in a sea of zumba classes, but I was shocked to see it offered!

I agree that the instructor makes a big difference. Most of the classes I tried, I felt the music/movements were too fast to follow without the potential of injuring your knees etc. the lack of cuing also bothered me. I did find 1 instructor that did cue and used music and moves where you could keep good form. Then she left and got tired of trying a class and finding her class and style wasn't the usual. I agree that I don't understand it's continuing popularity. I think it might be starting to fade but still way too many classes at the more popular times. Hopefully soon there will be some different options as Zumba fades.
