I'm going to my first zumba class tomorrow and was wondering if anyone has a rough estimate for how many calories you would burn in a 1 hour class?

Thanks.

    I have a HRM and I usually burn right around 500 calories in a 60 minute class. I'm 5'9 and 167.

    I used the a vigorous aerobics calculation for Zumba - I do the tapes. Of course the amount you burn depends on your height & weight.
