how many calories burned in an hour of jazzercise?

I weigh 230 pounds and record 500 calories for an hour of jazzercise class. Does that sound about right?
Everything I found online was around 450 calories for 165 pound woman.

im 180 and mfp calculates 600 some for an hour of zumba.

If it's similar to Zumba then it really is a case of how long is a piece of string? There are just so many variables, including :
How much you put in to it, I really throw myself in to Zumba, jumping around like crazy, putting 110% effort in to every move.
The instructor, some instructors are crazier than others and use far more energetic choreography.
Which tracks are played, there are definitely some that burn a lot more Calories than others.
How heavy you are, the heavier you are the more you'll burn

When I first started going to Zumba at 200lb+ I could burn a lot of Calories like in excess of 500 in 45mins, now at 148lb I burn around 300 on a standard day and around 400 in an extra bouncy class.
