What kind of shoes should I wear?

Don't show up with your high heel dancing shoes! Instead wear comfortable sneakers. The definition of comfortable is different for each person - some might need more arch support than others for example. Keep in mind that in Zumba there are lots os lateral movements and pivoting/turning so a sneaker that allows you to "slide" a little might be better than one that will stop you in your tracks (If you are going shoe shopping, look for a pivot circle at the bottom of the shoe).

How many calories can I burn during a one hour Zumba class?

That is totally up to you.  The more you "shake it" the more calories you will loose and sculpt your body.  Generally you can burn between 500 and 800 calories an hour
