I don't mind working out on my own really and prefer it but thought the class might be a way to meet some other people and stay motivated while working out during winter time.
I would talk to the instructor after the class & tell her that you cannot hear her cues because the music is too loud. If it bothers you, it is bothering other people too.

As far as mild expletives, many songs seem to have them. I won't use any songs with blatantly insulting words or songs that repeat an expletive over & over. My type of music doesn't lend itself to those sorts of lyrics.
