It takes Kapka to tango
Kapka takes the floor
Even those of us at Portobello Towers who are suffering from Strictly fatigue have been strapping on our dancing shoes to celebrate the acquisition of Kapka Kassabova's Tango: Twelve Minutes of Love.
This dazzling new book is about Kapka's decade-long love affair with the dance. Having hot-footed her way around dancehalls from Auckland to Edinburgh, via Buenos Aires and Berlin, Kapka uses her personal story to open up the hidden world of tango, with its aficionados and desperados, its endless practice and its fleeting passions.

Portobello published Kapka's acclaimed memoir of growing up in Bulgaria, Street Without A Name in paperback in February 2009.
