Logging in Barre classes

I've started doing Barre classes, but not sure how to log it in. Should I do Cardiovascular - strength training, or cardio - dance? The strength training doesn't seem like it's a lot (not that I want to overestimate), but I've read on several other sites that barre classes typically get you to burn 300-500 calories. No heart rate monitor yet, but if you have a recommendation for one that's accurate and won't break the bank, that'd be awesome, too!

    I wouldn't log it as anything cardio. Isn't it mostly isometric exercises? Those are not big calorie burners and a HRM is unlikely to give you a good estimate.
