Aside from the Halachic requirements, these such a concept of a proper state of mind. People lump that under the word “Tznius”, which causes mixed reactions. But no one can deny that having a proper state of mind is a requirement in Judaism. So as long as the Halachic requirements are met (an all-girls class), then the issue with Zumba (or any other activity) depends on the state of mind of every person. If your state of mind is “this isn’t proper but I’ll do it anyway because I enjoy it”, then it’s bad. If you’re honestly just enjoying the class and the exercise and only think that there may be an issue when other people mention it, then there’s no reason not to take the class. It’s not something which is inherently Assur. It’s something that every person has to realize for themselves if it’s Tznius or not. And that answer should be different for different people.
