    Default Anyone know how many calories burned when dancing?

    I've tried looking this up, but the only thing I get is for fitness pole dancing classes. Has anyone figured out how much you burn during a shift? I feel like I'm constantly eating just to keep up my energy and I still stay thin... and I usually have to work out a lot in order to stay in shape when I'm not dancing.

    I wonder the same. After I work a few days in a row I'll spend a day resting and eat 4000-7000 calories. I stay at the same low wight.

    I'd rather eat more every day but when I'm on my feet it's hard to get an appetite and I only hit about 1700-2200 cals/day.

    I don't think there is a set number, it varies. I know when I was dancing fulltime I would lose so much weight just from dancing. At one point I lost 30 pounds in 2 months.

    I think you have to factor in a multitude of things... like your dancing style (fast or slow), how much time you spend on the pole, how much downtime you usually have, etc. Because everyone is so different, it'd be really hard to come up with a set number for something like that.

    I guess the best way to find out is using one of those monitors that count calories.

    Has anyone found any updated resources for this? I really want to log my exercise calories but I don’t know what to input. I feel like there must be a way to find how many calories on average a lap dance burns, and how many calories on average a stage performance burns per song.
    I sweat on stage and I’m usually up there for 10 3-minute songs per night. 30 minutes of low intensity aerobics? Lap dances are a lot of squatting and doing push-ups off the customer, and I dance a little, shake my hips a little.... 20-40 3 minute songs per night. Does walking in 6-inch heels burn more calories than sneakers? I walk about 6,000 steps prowling around the club in a night of work.
    Has anyone tried using a Fitbit or Apple Watch for this? Maybe I should try to wear a heart rate monitor strap under my bra on lingerie night. Lol

    I wore a fitbit at work one day because I forgot to take it off, I burned 3800 calories that day total. No work out and I have a desk job during the day. I drank tequila all night at work which brings my heart rate up lol

    I think it depends. Also, our bodies get use to it. My trainer wants me to do HITT before work too! When I just dance I just stay the same weight. It help for maintenance, but I’ve never been in great shape with dancing alone. It depends on whether it a stage club or a vip club. Just walking around from table to table vs doing a 3 stage set one after another will vary a lot. I got a cute band for my Apple Watch so I can see how many steps I’m doing at work.
