I attend Zumba classes when possible, but it doesn't always fit into my schedule. Do they have some of the same or familiar songs on these dvds?

Yes, they do. And it is better. You get to work out at your own pace and learn the moves at your pace. You will start sweating after 15 minutes into the workout and it is sooo much fun. Just try it. You won't regret it. I was paying $49 a month at a Zumba studio and I didn't go often. This to me saved me a lot of money and custom fitted my schedule. I hope this helps....

The zumba cds allows you to use the program when you can in the privacy of your home as you can not when someone else can fit you in is what i was trying to say.i really enjoy it.hope i helped.i cant really tell you about the music they use because ive not ever attended the classes.but I zumba all the time.

They have a vast variety of every song I could possibly want, personally, and then some. It's the best fitness workout I've ever had in my entire life. You don't even have to keep up with them, although, they go at a very acceptable and "do-able" pace even for me and I'm 58. I'm still on the first DVD and absolutely loving it. I will stay on the first dvd until I feel able to go on to the next. I 'truly' love this, and actually look forward to working out and dancing and smiling at the same time! "No lie." :) I highly recommend it to 'everyone.' To the young lady of 60, no, it won't be too hard, I was wondering the same thing myself. You can go at your own pace. "Love it."

I've been to several differant classes and some songs were familiar and some were different. The steps though are pretty much the same with some variations. I am on the second dvd and keep up pretty well. I am 67.

Hi Teresa,I don't know what songs are played in your classes but the songs in the video are pretty popular & catchy. I enjoy the music and the moves. I hope this answer helps...

I have the Zumba for Xbox 360 and it is good if you want to learn the moves and get a feel for the steps. My problem with the game is....its a game so if you are not in the correct position in front of the kinect, it will not read your movements and you will become frustrated. I ordered it January 1st and I have gotten tired of the same screen and no additional areas to dance because you have to earn points to move forward. I am awaiting the Zumba transformation cd set so that I can continue with Zumba. I hope this helps.

Yes! If you've done Turbo Jam, you already know the moves. AND, there is someone who is always showing you the low-impact version, which was great for me....

It's music but not the songs that you dance to in class. Never heard any of these songs on the radio that on DVDs!

Yes--but it's even better because he clearly announces the moves, whereas in a lot of the Sweatin' DVDs you are guessing. DVD 1 is 20 minutes Cardio, DVD 2 is 25 minutes Cardio and DVD 3 is 30 minutes Cardio. All the weight workouts are about 1-15 minutes. EAch Challenge is about 10 minutes.

Yes there is the Zumba has a beginner program to use before moving on to the harder workout.

Yes. These short videos require weights. They are also very high tempo, unlike the older Firm workouts.

I've been told by a friend who has omnicentric, hipcentric and abcentric that all of the moves for all of them are identical. So basically the separate titles are just a marketing ploy. They're all the same workout.

Same here, just got Zumba from Amazon and none of the DVD's will play on any TV new or old.

The better you do, the more background dancers come out to join the party in Zumba! If you aren't doing so well or can't keep up on some of the moves, the entire song will keep playing but the background dancers go away.

If it came with calendar, I ignored it. I just progressed straight through the workouts. Compared to Insanity it is far few jumps, or jump squats. Don't get me wrong, you will be jumping with Ruthless, just not as much. It was said in a previous review, but one of my bigger issues is not remembering what a workout is after doing it. The names are a little screwy. I miss using weights, so I just do a Tony Horton Fitness on You tube to incorporate weights.

Although the Wii is a nice change... I prefer the DVD over the Wii workout. The music is much more fun, and I prefer to see the live instructors over the cartoon ones on the Wii.

On my Zumba--the songs are of Spanish/Latino origin--Very fun and fast music :)

They were different workouts. My dvd's stopped working with a newer dvd player. I've tried three, but they will not work any longer so I only used each one a few times before it went bust.

I don't know about that but if you want a good workout...I never use this DVD it doesn't give me a good workout unless you are a beginner. Good luck.

There are a few different workouts. I typically do the disco workout and I do the dance party. Of course the disco has disco music..the dance party. Has some Michael Jackson, Madonnna, etc......

If you base the "upgrade" on the number of disks, then I guess it is an upgraded version, but it sounds like it includes exactly what I received on only 2 DVDs: Sculpt 1-2, Sculpt 3-4, Sweat 1-2, Sweat 3-4, Ab Ripper 100, and Ab Ripper 200. Oh, and I received a "bonus" DVD called Fat Burning Express which I haven't tried yet.Although the marketing is deceiving and the videos obviously dated, I still really like the routines.
