Before “The Lion King,” she saw the magic of dancers who could “become” animals or giant puppets. When her 50-year-old institution, Ballet Folklorico de Mexico, whirled through Galveston’s 1894 Grand Opera House on Saturday, the audience was ready to shout Viva Mexico! well before the cast did.” — Molly Glentzer, Houston Chronicle
