Originally published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine , July 1993.
"As in her Hugo and Nebula Award winning Beggars in Spain , Dancing on Air finds Nancy Kress once more exploring the moral ambiguities of genetic engineering that have become her hallmark. This novella-length chapbook combines an intriguing murder mystery, involving a reporter's investigation into the competitive world of professional ballet, with the thought-provoking science fiction we have come to expect from Nancy Kress. This story is among her finest work." [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1997]
