An artist who journeyed halfway across the world to study both North Indian temple dances and South Indian court dances and then brought them to Central Texas, where she shared her mastery of them for close to a half-century, has left us. Gina Lalli, as generous a guru as she was an accomplished artist, died Saturday morning, Feb. 16. She was 89.
