'return once more' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'dance pirouetting etc' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'dance' could be 'reel' (reel is a kind of dance) and 'reel' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'etc' is 'ect' which is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for re-elect that I've seen before include "Vote in again" , "Put into power again" , "Bring to power again" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
