Its not done for the wrong reasons, onloy for a good laugh anf to get Fitter :happy:

The rest is mainly upper body, holding my own weight.

    Someone posted this site last night, so I am copying it on here. Hopefully you will find it.

    You could get a heart-rate/calorie monitor to wear while your dancing. There are alot of different options out there, I have just a standard heart rate monitor that also functions as a watch. I love it and it helps me keep my heart rate right on target. They range in price from the 20$ to 300$, so you can pretty much find one that works. That will probably be your best option if you want an accurate reading.

    I would say it's close to yoga or gymnastics - maybe 260-300 calories/hour?

    I found an information that dancing at the disco is almost 500 calories/hour! :smile:
