Belly Dancing..

Would beginner belly dancing still be considered "belly dancing" under exercise? I mean, it keeps my heart rate up and I am sweating, but is it not as intense as full fledged belly dancing. I just don't want to think I am burning more calories then what I actually am..

I'd look it up on other websites. Maybe the mayo clinic website? The numbers have to be out there

303 for one hour for 150 lbs. http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp?exercise=206

If you think you are not at full speed you could always take 50% or 75% of it depending on your intensity. Hope that helps!
