I personally think it has a ton of West Coast Swing content... I remember loving the brief break into a different dance, because the music actually turned into a different dance. Maybe it lost them first, but I think other than that, there's a ton of swing content... more than was required.
And freakin' good swing too. This is the routine that convinced me to take my first lesson... never get tired of it!

I believe a classic routine requires 90% recognizable swing content. In a 3 minute routine, 18 to 20 seconds can be non-swing..... I could be wrong on this rule but I believe it is correct.

Another example of mixed dances...Mario rode the line on swing content on this one. It could have easily gone the other way and he could have be docked points. Some times it pays to be edgy and others is drops your placement.
