Another instructor repeatedly taking over someone else’s Zumba class?

I regularly attend the Zumba class of one instructor because I like her choreography, music, and teaching style. Other instructors who teach at the Y occasionally participate in this class, and even go up front and dance with the instructor, which I have no problem with. They follow the instructor's choreography alongside them and maybe once in a while do a song from their own classes. There's one instructor, however, who attends very frequently and does something very different. She'll take over quite a bit more, either changing the instructor's choreography and leading it as opposed to the instructor leading their own songs and or do multiple songs from her class. And every song always includes her butt/hip shaking whether it fits the song or not. She also regularly calls out random comments throughout songs, and has even started adding other random stuff including a conga line out of nowhere and bringing random props. I want to be clear that I understand that everyone else likes her style and she has her own classes. I personally find her annoying and her dancing isn't my style, so I don't ever go to her classes. My issue is her always doing this in the class that I'm coming to specifically for the instructor who is actually teaching it. If this instructor was just doing a couple songs like the others, that's different. My problem is her basically taking over the class and doing all this extra stuff along with it. Is there a way I can professionally approach this concern with the Y? I don't wanna cause any trouble, I just wanna attend the class of the instructor whose actually teaching at least the majority of her class.
