Any help calculating calories burned?

Hi everyone! I'm on a weight loss journey and I'm going to be doing some group exercise classes at my local YMCA. I want to log these classes but I really dont know how to. I'm taking Total Body Conditioning for an hour and Zumba for 50 minutes each week. MFP doesnt have these classes/exercises in its catalog. Does anyone know roughly how many calories this would burn or have a formula for figuring that out? I'd love help from anyone who has taken classes like these or just knows their stuff well. Thank you!

It's not that I dont believe you but look at my phone. I keep checking under cardio, I'm certain of it.

I also see zumba in the search, but I'm on the internet site, not the app.0

Maybe that's why? I guess if I cant add it on the app, I'll use a substitute. It's just curious that I dont see it will others do0 -
I’m on the app and see Zumba in the search box. Very weird.1

This is weird (and I think it's a bug). I can replicate it on my phone (Android version of MFP app).
This sounds goofy, but works for me: Try clicking on "most used", then typing "zumba" in the search box (just as you've done, but different category highlighted at the top). That should bring up a "No results found in your history" message, and a clickable link that says "Search all exercises for "zumba"." Click on that "Search all exercises . . . " link.
After I do that, I can bring it up with the "Browse all" thingie highlighted at the top, too.
Try it, may work, may not.
(Note to all: Yes this is nuts. I was a software development professional for years, so I'm not being a tech idiot here. It may be an initialization problem - not the first one I've found in MFP.)1 -

Oh wow, this is interesting. By doing it the way you suggest, it comes up. But searching under "browse all" which I did cuz I thought it made sense gets me nothing. I didnt think I was doing anything wrong. Interesting bug. How can that be reported to MFP?1 -
From my phone.
