Go to a place with public computers and continually post Craigslist ads for free beer, parties or other things and just post their address or use their phone number in the ad.
If in doubt, FLAT OUT

Have you talked to them about it? Maybe just ask them to be considerate of you and turn it down before resorting to IRS and INS.
Chinese New Year every time they have a class? Lion dance and firecrackers.

Or a "need X cut/moved/destroyed" post and use their adress - ie. If they have a big tree in front yard, post an ad saying "we have a big tree that needs to be chopped down - come on by and take it for free"

Chalkboard + nails.. Im sure theres atleast a few people in their Zumba class that will not be able to stand that. Other than that fight music with music.
Not sure if stink bombs will get you in trouble with the police but that will likely work too. Or just do everything lol

How about this...
Subaru Meet and BBQ at Daniel's house.
Just set the meet up 45 minutes before they do their class. We'll FILL the street with subarus. Start up the grill and blast some metal and play beer pong.
Then we'll all put on thongs and head bands and do some yoga while farting off all the booze and meat to more metal.

First of all, in California, they may not tow you for blocking a sidewalk or driveway, but they will ticket you. Call the City. Parking enforcement would LOVE to come out and fill an unofficial quota with 10-15 tickets in one stop.
Second of all, it doesn't matter what they call their payment. "Donations" doesn't fly if my employer tells me, "Listen, we're going to start donating money to you for helping around the office." If it can be argued that this is a business (regular and consistent hours and days of operation), then report it to the IRS. Also, the only business I'm aware of that you can be run out of a home on a consistent basis without some sort of "home office" setup (eg. I run my photography business out of my home) is childcare, and you still need a license for that. If they don't have a license/business license/certificate, they can get in trouble. If they're doing personal training, there are licenses for personal trainers in some jurisdictions, and this can cause a huge headache to have a large group come down on top of you.
Continue to complain. Every day it happens. Talk to your neighbors. Have them continue to call and complain. Believe it or not, if you annoy the cops and dispatch enough, they will do something, even if it's not a set of criminal activities. You are entitled to quiet enjoyment of your home.
Call INS. Honestly. People who operate a business "under the table" are often doing it because they aren't in good standing with the IRS, The State, Local authorities, etc. Likelihood is, they don't want to be tracked for good reason. Call them out.
Call out local code enforcement. Believe it or not, there is a limit of people who can live in a single family home/apartment, and there is a fire code that states how many people can be in one place at one time. They may be violating this code.
Exacting revenge will ONLY make a situation like this worse. Trust me. They don't care how much you annoy them. They'll just annoy you more. People with no respect for others will only increase their lack of respect for you, and drive you insane.

If you do retaliate I would keep a close on your pets and cars. Seems like they are making decent money from this and if you were to ruin that situation, they may wanna cause you some more grief. I actually had a neighbour (Racist) that was kinda doing the same thing some years back. I did the music thing with Vietnamese news from an AM channel (I'm Native American) for 3 days and it worked lol. Months later my cat was found dead from BB gun...I always wondered who did it.

I think you hit the nail on the head first post in. Pantera should do it 
I like your stink bomb idea, very creative and with immediate results. Blowing the whistle with the IRS will take too long, and if they claim the funds went back into throwing the parties (replacing blown speakers and whatnot) they will most likely just get a slap on the wrist and be required to turn it into a legitamate business.
