Calories burned ballroom dancing

An article I have lists the calories burned per hour for 4 types of dance:
Body weight 100 150 200

Disco/Hustle 200 240 280
Polka 430 510 600
Square 330 400 470
Waltz 200 240 280

Interesting that Disco and Waltz take the same.
Comparable activities are walking, bicycling, golf, and gardening, all with levels of effort within the chart.
