If you have your own heart rate / calorie monitor then log it as your own exercise and use your calories burned. You can get them pretty much any where. I got mine at Academy for less than 40.00. But you can pay hundreds for them.0

You can add your own personal exercises in the cardio section in your exercise area. I have it in mine. I also use a HRM. One of the best investments I made. It shows me how many calories I burn doing Zumba by using my own information to calulate them.0

You can set up your own exercise in MFP. If you don't have an HRM (which is the most accurate method) then google "zumba calories burned" and there are a load of calculators out there. Once you have an exercise in, and the rate of calories you burn, you can add your time twice a week and it should calculate your burn.
However, I found it useful (pre-hrm) to have 2 zumba levels (medium and low intensity). Only you know how hard you worked, so only you know whether it was high or low (or medium) intensity. High intensity - you shouldn't be able to talk, you're that out of breath!0 -
thanks for this guys
