Kapka Kassabova first set foot in a tango studio ten years ago and, from
that moment, she was hooked. With the beat of tango driving her on and
the music filling her head, she's danced across the world, from Auckland
to Edinburgh, from Berlin to Buenos Aires, putting in hours of practice
for fleeting moments of dance-floor ecstasy, suffering blisters and
heart-break along the way. Here, in sparkling, spring-heeled prose,
Kapka takes us inside the esoteric world of tango to tell the story of
the dance, from its Afro roots to its sequined stars and back. Twelve
Minutes of Love is a timeless tale of exile and longing, death and
desire, love and belonging.
