The name of an activity is not the important part for estimating Calories burned per minute of activity.

The important part is the metabolic equivalent of tasks (METs) that provides an estimate for Calories burned per minute, which are estimates for a general population and may differ for you as an individual based on your level of intensity. MFP generally uses the 2011 METs values - which are published values based on research to support those values - compiled in the Compendium of Physical Activities.

You could search for aerobics or dancing and log it as one of the pre-loaded exercises, based on your level of intensity.

4.0 - Water aerobics, water calisthenics
4.5 - Dancing, general
4.8 - Dancing, aerobic, ballet or modern, twist
5.0 - Aerobics, low impact
5.5 - Dancing, ballroom, fast
6.0 - Teaching aerobics class
6.5 - Aerobics, general
7.0 - Aerobics, high impact
8.5 - Aerobics, step, with 6-8 inch step
10.0 - Aerobics, step, with 10-12 inch step
