Morris Dancing?

I'm not sure how many are familiar with Morris Dancing, but I'm having a hard time trying to calculate the calories I burn doing it. What would be the most equivalent thing to compare it too?

Old video, there is a fair amount of standing around breaks in this particular dance, but there are several more vigorous, And it's pretty vigorous when actually moving, but as Morris dancing isn't an option on the exercise.

I thought I'd ask to see if anyone here would know an equivalent exercise to use for example when tallying up my calories consumed/burned.

I'd log it as dancing.I would knock some off the total time for the standing still (depending on the dance).
It depends on the type of morris you are doing but in general I don't think its particularly more or less vigorous than other types of dancing.
