Before I got a heart rate monitor, I looked it up and it said that the average Zumba workout burns 550-800 calories/hour. I just logged it at the low end (550). It's better to count it as lower and play it safe. If you count it higher and eat those calories back, it could sabotage you in the long run.
Since i got the HRM, my counts have been between 550 and 750 per hour (more at the low end), and I'm dripping sweat by half way through.

maybe use a pedometer

Or.. a Heart Rate Monitor.

Keep in mind, they are all just estimates based of average population with similar age / weight. Your actuals could be slightly (or significantly) more or less.
