This is actually quite a serious topic. Muscle soreness in your case is surely caused by muscle spasms. This can happen if you're overtraining, or if you do not have enough rest between training sessions. Other things known to cause sore muscles are muscle and tissue damage. To get rid of this problems, you could do warm ups between intensive exercise sets. Also, you must rest long enough after training class, so that your muscles can recover. Sometimes resting a whole week of resting can do more good than constant training.
