Just found an article that has the specific calories burned according to types of dancing. Always hear that a certain form of exercise burns a certain amount of calories, but they never emphasize that it changes as you change weight. Also explains why exercises seem to work most at first. Got the figures from http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com/calories-burned-by.php?search=aerobic and converted them to pounds from Kg
Thought my friends would be interested.
Here are some figures
general, greek, middle eastern, hula, flamenco, belly, and swing dancing
60 minutes if you weigh 121 pounds 259.875 calories burned
60 minutes if you weigh 143 pounds 307.125 calories burned
