Dancing for four hours, including warm up, across the floor, and practising as well as teaching is going to be a combination of cardio stretching and strength - doing cardio at the gym burns about 100 calories every 10 minutes. So for four hours of dance i'd say you need at least 900 or so calories.

I think if you go onto Pyramid.com it may give you the diet required for all your activity

My advise is to see a dietitian about this matter. We aren't professionals here, and I doubt anyone would want to give you incorrect information.

I agree you should seek professional help from a dietician, but Pyramid is on the recommendations page on this site, and it may give you an indication

I have a strange feeling about your post and please forgive me if I'm wrong. I don't know the answer to your question but even if I did I wouldn't answer it because I wonder if you want to know how long you have to dance to loose so and so many calories, not how many calories you need to dance that long. Apologies if I misunderstood.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
