    I just created my own. I use my Polar HRM for calorie burns and go with that.

    I don't have a HRM yet so I add it as dancing. I don't know if it really gives the right amount though. I always feel like I burned more than that. I figure at this point since I'm not eating back my exercise calories that it doesn't matter. My body knows how much I've burned!

    I took my first zumba class today and had the same question! A MFP friend mentioned www.zumbacalories.com
    It may help if you don't have an HRM.

    I have Zumba as one of my cardio things. I do it 3x/wk. I believe one minute of Zumba burns about 9 calories. Here's the link: http://www.ehow.com/about_5368632_many-during-one-hour-zumba_.html
