Add dancing to the Exercise app on Charge 5

I'd like to see dancing added as a tracked workout. To be more specific, I'd like it to be accessible via the exercise shortcuts on the watch itself, so users can just hit 'start' on the watch as they would with a run, hike, swim, bike ride, or workout, so the fitbit tracks steps, heart rate, zone minutes, and calories for the dance class.

Yes please! Read in another post it's already available in other models. I just got my Charge 5, and Dancing is Life!*

Stay healthy everyone

I completely agree. Why no ballet, tap, ballroom or Latin dancing? Is, for example ballet dancing or Irish dancing not recognised as athletic and cardio? What do the app designers have against dancers?

I’m adding my voice to requests to add Zumba, dance or aerobic to the shortcut!!! Zumba is my exercise of choice and I can see no reason for it not to be added. Dancing is particularly good for over 50s. Please remember Fitbit users come in all shapes and sizes!!
