Probably: That is very strenuous exercise so I am not surprised that you developed a few bruises. They will go away on their own.

Possibly: Zumba can be a great workout and is usually quite a vigorous one at that. Certainly if there is high impact activities that may result in rubbing of the inner thighs against one another, bruising could theoretically occur. If bruising continues and continues to go unexplained, then one should consult a doctor for further evaluation. All the best!
