“Long before ‘Riverdance,’ Amalia Hernandez understood the power of rhythmic thunder. Before ‘The Lion King,’ she saw the magic of dancers who could ‘ become’ animals or giant puppets. When her 50-year-old institution, Ballet Folklórico de México, whirled through Galveston’s 1894 Grand Opera House on Saturday, the audience was ready to shout Viva Mexico! well before the cast did.”
