The effect only grants Haste until the end of the current turn. If the creature somehow manages to stick around until a later turn, it will no longer have Haste. - 2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast
Corpse Dance only exiles the card if the card is still on the battlefield at the beginning of the end step.
