I like the way they went from an intro class to a choreographed routine in one day. That's good teaching.
Still, having a real piano player that could vary tempos instead of a CD player would be useful for learning.

Well, I think to say that Arthur Murray killed social dancing is a little extreme. What he did do was take the street out of these types of street dances and as you can see. What he is teaching and what the shag dancers are doing, are two different things.

Arthur Murray killed social dancing in the US. This clip is a good reason why.

So, you better start practicing. ;)
