History[]
Mai is a ballerina from the Dance Kingdom, but she had no confidence in her dancing. One day, when the evil sorceress Tempest attacked, Mai overheard Tempest's plan and began to seek out the Pretty Cure. After managing to convince them, Mai takes five Cures to the kingdom, and they travel to the palace in order to find the Dance Tiara, which is said to glow when placed upon the Dancing Maiden's head. Mai is convinced to try on the Dance Tiara, but she and the Dance Tiara were captured by Tempest. Cure Rose tried to save Mai, but is captured as well. Later on, Mai managed to put on the Dance Tiara, which revealed Mai to be the Dancing Maiden. When Cure Rose (in her Flower Form) sacrificed herself to protect Mai, Cure Rose transformed into Super Love Rose, and she and Mai performed "Love Dance Blizzard", and purified Tempest. Everything was in peace again, and the Cures went back to the human world.
