That is a really great idea! you should contact the website and suggest that to them! 

Contacted them and I just got a response that they are trying to add them to the list! 

I totally agree with you on adding them. I've been doing Zumba on my Wii 

I just wanted to point out that what the game says you have burned in calories is cumulative since you started logging workouts. So if it says you've burned 4,000 calories, that's total, not just that day's workout. If you tell calorie counter that you did dance or aerobics for the amount of time that you did it in, that is a more true picture of what you really burned that particular workout. even if you RAN (about a 10 minute mile) for five miles (50 minutes without pausing), you'd only burn about 630 calories. so i think what they calculate here is pretty spot-on. good luck and have fun! 

actually on the zumba game, the only place it tells you what you burned ever since u started playing the game is in the statistics mode...and just dance 3 does the same thing with the 7 day challenge...it tells u how much u burned that particular day playing the game 

i've been playing just dance, not zumba. but there's no way in heck you could possibly burn THAT many calories dancing. it's mathematically impossible. if you weigh 210 lbs, you'd burn 3500 calories during a MARATHON. 26.2 miles! http://www.livestrong.com/article/302836-how-many-calories-are-burned-during-a-marathon/ so, again, i encourage you to trust the estimate fat secret gives you when you plug in your real amount of time dancing and your intensity. good luck!
