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.

    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.

    i know, the lower burn is the trade off for the lower weight. it sucks LOLOL
