Thrown in at the deep end of the campaign process in Nigeria's 2011 elections, the Author was without a 'manual' on how to organise women or a campaign nor one on how to support a spouse running for office. This book is a narrative of the effort to bring years of civil society learning to bear on the field of practical politics. It takes direction from the perspective of organising and working with women. It takes a keen view of the role of family, the changing role of women in politics and their growing awareness about the importance of that role. The lessons show that economic growth for women can only happen when they organise politically. As the title indicates, it is a new kind of dance where, yes, women still dance but they dictate the tune, when to dance, what kind of dance and with whom.
