According to Dr. Edward R. Laskowski, M.D. based on his interview in Mayoclinic:
“Zumba is a fitness program that combines Latin music and easy-to-follow dance moves. Zumba routines incorporate interval training, alternating fast and slow rhythms and resistance training. Zumba’s fans say it’s so popular because Zumba is a fun way to work out”.
I asked Rosita Steward, our registered Zumba fitness instructor in Chicago area about Zumba and it benefits. “Zumba is dancing. Dancing is exercising and exercising is losing weight. Zumba works as Cardio and some prefer to dance to a great music to lose weight rather than using treadmill” She said while showing me some moves.
Music is one of the most intriguing and encouraging reasons to be active. Everyone enjoys happy music and start to move their body with it. It as if though it is involuntarily dance.
In another article of 9 encouraging ways to lose weight, I stated music and group workout are quite effective. Zumba is practically a workout session, which is perfect for beginners to encourage them of a fun activity and losing weight. To find how Zumba can help with losing weight, lets consider followings:

Not all Zumba classes are intense and make you sweat. Of of the good reasons of Zumba for the beginners to get encourage in losing weight is the fun and group encouraging activity that it offers. Depending on the Zumba instructor ability to keep everyone involved and create pleasant environment, Zumba is the best place to get inspired and lose weight.

To clarify the difference, let assume a Disco Jockey . Would you hire any body to be a D.J at your party? I didn’t think so. Zumba instructor quality is very important in producing result in every session. A quality and skilled Zumba fitness instructor, constantly creating easy but yet effective dance moves that are easy t follow, yet changing it style variety to keep it exciting.

What is the difference between Zumba fitness and aerobics class?
Zumba fitness is very similar to aerobics workout with few differences. In Zumba since the focus of everyone is on music and the instructor does not talk it is a workout program that is international for every language. The only language of communication is music. Zumba fitness offers variety of different dance moves that are easy to follow and have fun in contrary to repeated similar moves in aerobics that are not based on the music.
