    I go for an hour long zumba class 4 times a week. It depends on the instructor and your dancing intensity. I don't have a HRM, so I don't know exactly how much I burn. A couple of reliable websites say that most people overestimate the calories burnt by 200-300 cals because zumba ads tend to say you burn 600-1000 cals per hour. I estimate it to be around 450-650 per hour. That is what a couple of women wearing HRMs in our class say they burn too.
