Earlier this month, Mai spoke about her excitement to join the show, sharing that she could not believe that she had been chosen for the series.

However, she did say that her dancing skills were not yet there and that she had never ballroom danced. She joked that she's only skilled doing the electric slide, adding:

"When it comes to the ballroom, I've got two left feet, and I realized I need some vitamins for my ankles. I never knew that I had crappy ankles. They're terrible. They hurt so much."
