I can't personally say whether classes are good or not but I can say that practice in an actual club is the best. Thats where your real experience comes from. Especially playing to a crowd and working around unexpected circumstances.
If you can afford it, i would take some classes they will def teach you things that you may not learn by yourself. For example I need help setting up traktor in a club on a Pioneer system and could use some lessons on switching Dj's mid set, etc. I was actually considering some private lessons from Dubspot, just on things I wanna focus on.
practice, practice, practice
then repeat

As Richie Hawtin said, hes afraid schools like this are going to just be churning out copy cats. In most cases you are replicating styles and reproducing. That in no way is developing your own "style". The only way I see dubspot as useful is for those who have the money to for some reason drop on the classes, but not the gear. As Dubspot provides alot of that for you
For awhile I was thinking about their producer series awhile back. But after a friend attended the Ableton Production course, decided it wasnt worth 10 grand for the entire package. There are some nice instructors, the verbal feedback was great. For production/sound design, I would recommend their courses.
For DJing, it seems like a wasted course. The one draw to doing it on campus is that you get to play a real New York Club for your final. So i guess if thats worth paying a couple grand for
Oh rereading... I assume you are going to do the online DJing part? Because the normal course is 2000 bucks.. For the in person.
Dont do the online DJ aspect of dubspot. Their courses are only worth the in person aspect. Use the internet and youtube as others suggestion if you want to pay a couple thousand for some videos and some feedback that anyone can give you
