    Dp you have a heartrate monitor that calculates how many calories you burn because you can actually add your own workout to the database

    I put it in under Dancing, aerobic, ballet or modern, twist. Mainly because our Zumba class is very modern/hip-hop dancing. You could probably put it under Dancing, general as well though.

    I would like an answer as well. I have been logging it as modern dance, etc...

    Ha, I JUST googled. This. I made my own entry and estimated about 500 calories burned per hour.

    Since I use a variety of dance/kickbox/etc. workout DVDs, I just log them all under "Aerobics, general," then figure if I burned more calories than the site puts down for me, it's a bonus!
