Can anyone tell me how many calories dancing in a ballroom dance class burns. On average for 2-3 hours? Not dancing for 2-3 hours straight, but learning like in dancing with the stars, or sort of like training or continuously practicing new moves, but not intense.

    not sure, but it is built into the exercise list. I saw it the other night after I had been out dancing with friends. I just typed "dancing" and a few options came up. Just estimate how much time you actually spent dancing.

    On mfp it says that for 120 minutes of ballroom dance and twist you would burn 479.
  • I would say probably around 150 calories.
