How to track a barre class?

I'm taking a "burn at the barre" class. Obviously it's not in the exercise list - how would you track it for your workouts? I looked at yoga but it's more rigorous than that. And calisthenics but I'm not sure it's as rigorous than jumping jacks, etc. Thoughts??

    I think you would need a heart rate monitor to be certain--but this is the online calculator that I used to calcuate a figure and it's what I enter into my exercise log. I find barre to be an incredible workout and I know the calorie burn looks low on this--but I think that many times people overestimate their calories burned during exercise.

    I hope this is helpful!

    That is super super helpful - thank you!
    I ordered a new heart rate monitor - once it gets here I'll have a better idea of how I'm doing.
