I dont see Zumba in the excercise directory and was wondering approximately how many calories you burn in 1 hour? I am debating if I should try tonights Zumba class thats offered in my gym. I normally do running about 3.4miles in 40 minutes which includes interval training. I also do another 20 minutes of strength. I'm wondering what will burn my calories?

Depending on how fit you are, and how much of yourself you put into the moves, I'd say anywhere from 300-600 for an hour probably, depending on fitness level and weight. I do about 300 for the 20 min express, but I do it after 30DS so my pulse is already pretty high when I start.
Edited to add: Basically, Zumba is awesome, but you may want to add some strength training to go along with it if you have time. I used to do 1 hour BodyPump class followed directly my 1 hour Zumba class, and burned over 1000 calories for both.0
