What should I put for Zumba?

I noticed MyFitnessPal does not have Zumba as an option (although it is obviously an exercise). I have the Zumba fitness join the party for Wii, but not sure what to put when I enter it in MFP. Does anyone have any ideas? My only guess would be to put the type of dance work out but it does a couple in one session.

I just put in aerobics. I mix it up with low-impact and high-impact depending on how hard I pushed myself.0

I calculated it here: http://www.caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned/ then created my own exercise and named it Zumba.0

I actually made my own cardio thing for ZUMBA. You know that ZUMBA show up as not found well I looked around on the boards and this website works http://www.caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned/. It seems very accurate to me. ZUMBA is new to me so the sections fit me. I am under medium since I am learning it. But I don't know if this will help you.0

Using a heart rate monitor is the best way to know. My friends who use a HRM and Log their Zumba classes average about 10.25 calories a minute. I usually log anything Wii as dancing, general. A real Zumba class is on my to do list!0

I usually just put aerobics, since that's essentially what zumba is.0

I've never tried Zumba but I'd like to start. I'm considering getting the Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation System DVD Set:

May I have your opinions - are these dvds effective or will I get a better workout with Zumba on Wii?
Thanks!0 -
Thank you so much for your help! I looked at the zumba calculator and it seemed quite accurate, so I did that.0
