Zumba for Kinect--ugh

in Getting in Shape
I just received Zumba for Kinect in the mail yesterday. I've attended some Zumba classes in the past and love to dance, so I was super excited to get this game!
I did search the boards for an answer to my question, but all I could find was people endorsing the game or saying that they have it, so hopefully someone can help me.
I can't do anything in the game except single dances. Everything else (party, workout schedule, zumba class) is grayed out and I cannot select it.
Does anyone know if you have to do every single single dance and "unlock" stuff before you can do the class? If so, that is super frustrating. I just want 30 mins to 60 mins of straight dancing instead of stopping at the end and having to go back to the menu and select a new dance.
Sorry to complain and be frustrated! Thanks for any help you may have. It sounds like Dance Central is THE dancing game to get, so I'll put that on my list.
Thanks so much!

    I had the same problem so I returned it.  It would only give me one 3-5 min song at a time...by time I started to warm up, it was over.  Very disappointing and poorly designed.

    Not sure about Zumba, I don't think I tried doing the continuous dances. Been a while since I used it.

    Just wanted to comment on Dance Central. Got it for Christmas and it's really fun! Just a warning, I have a lot of issues getting through the menus, though it might just be me. It's REALLY touchy. Just thought I'd warn you in case it's not just me!

    I have Zumba for Wii. I tried it the first time today and it didn't make me do the tutorial-- I started with the 20-minute beginner workout. Sorry the Kinect version is more complicated!

    I have the Zumba for the Wii and I know with that if you do the classes, like the 20 minute one, you have to do both the classes before you unlock the rest of the classes. At least that is how it is with the first one, the second on the Wii doesn't do that.

    EDIT
    SO, I just tried it and my problem was even though I was logged into XBox Live, I didn't choose the "save" option. So once I did all of that, everything (classes, party, workout schedule) were all unlocked.

    If you had the same problem as me, it's probably because you're not saving. Now I think FI and I will have to buy an external harddrive to save my Zumba workouts and his CODMW3 games!

    Thanks to all who responded!

    I have Zumba for Kinect. Now granted I have only done it once, I didn't have any problems. I know I chose a 20 minute beginner session. I don't remember what section it was in, but the Intermediate was available for me to choose too. After I finished the 20 minute beginner, it told me I unlocked things.

    Good luck!

    I have Dance Central myself, and I loved it--until I played Just Dance on New Years Eve with my family! Just Dance had me sweating in the first song--whereas Dance Central it took 3 songs. Also Just Dance is WAY more fun!
