For being a rhythm and tap style of dancing, Herencia Mexicana de Vail is "Very Quiet and Sloppy". I watched their show at Western State College and was fairly disappointed. I have previously performed in Mexican Folklorico dancing, and we were sometimes pretty lost on stage, but I don't remember losing place quite so often. If we had a problem, we stomped too loudly, not too quietly. They commonly got out of step with each other (which was especially noticeable in the Nayarit set with Machetes), and barely moved their legs.
Even viejos dance was disappointing. They didn't look nearly crippled enough.
But I did enjoy it for the nostalgia. But that is pretty exclusive to someone who had once danced Folklorico and no longer does much.
