Is this kickboxing or aerobic dancing?

I've been following a kickboxing video online in the mornings for exercise, but I just started an aerobic dancing class and it felt the same as the kickboxing. Surely they are not the same considering the database says they burn different calories? The aerobic dancing had the grapevine, touching, squats, lifting the knee, lunges and using the hands a lot. The only thing it didn't have was punching and kicking. But the kickboxing video has all the same moves, we just punch instead of moving the hands, and there is a few kicking moves. I guess I'm just concerned I'm not recording calories burned through exercise accurately because if I put 10 minutes of aerobic dancing, it's about 50 calories, but 10 minutes of kickboxing is over 100 calories...so I didn't feel that big of a difference between the two? Here is the kickboxing video, maybe this is not real kickboxing, I don't know....
