    You can add your own exercise! I added mine, so now under "My Exercises" I have Zumba Dance. I use www.zumbacalories.com to estimate how many calories to use!

    I have been using this which someone had recommended in MFP a while back.

    I am not sure how accurate it is but its good enough for me ... !

    i did look under aerobics but got a bit confused about what one to use, general, low or high. i do get hot and sweaty during the class but not necessarily out of breath so i was thinking low??

    If you have an HRM you can create your own exercise and log the number of calories you burn but without an HRM def log it as aerobics, general.

    That's what I use! =) Then, add your own exercise and put in the calories that the website tells you.
