Janie,
I did like the Zumba DVD I borrowed from my library. Maybe you can see if your library has one and ensure you like it before plunking down the cash for the DVDs. I will say, I MUCH prefer the live Zumba class to the DVDs. Not everyone in the class knows what they are doing which makes it a very fun environment. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how many calories I burned and how sweaty I was after a Zumba class!
