I saw an advertisement on tv today and I think it looked fun, albeit a bit more advanced than what I'm used to.
However, it's quite an expensive dvd set at nearly €80 euro's so I'd like to hear your views on it.

Is it very hard, is it fun and more importantly, did you lose weight from doing this workout in combination with a healthy diet?
 
I just added Zumba to my "things to do everyday" list yesterday. If you look on youtube there are a lot of videos that show beginning to advance.
 
I've tried it by now (youtube) but I'm a dork and can't do it cause I have 2 left feet lol!
Does look like a good workout though.
 
How about incorporating some of the moves into your regular routine? Perhaps a few adjustments? I am sure it gets easier/better over time as you/we/someone learns the moves.
Being the weight I am now I have trouble keeping up & doing it for long periods of time. But I do like to dance so that's what I have been doing. Hopefully as I lose the weight I'll be able to do more - for longer periods of time. I do know that although I have been dancing around & exercising previous, Zumba is using other muscles than I had been using before. Woke up this morning a bit sore (but have still done more of the dancing today LOL)
Like, right now I hate getting on the floor for like sit-ups so I do them on the bed instead at this time. As "good" as regular sit-ups or crunches? Perhaps not, but sure better than none. LOL

Good luck in finding something that works for you :)
