Kari is determined to be perfect because her mother was a prima ballerina when she was a student a Royal Prep.

The three Princess begin there ballet rehearsal with Miss Elodie. Kari quickly reveals that she's as much a perfectionist as Sofia is. When Sofia and Amber go out for recess, Kari continues to practice, to Sofia's concern. When Kari meets up with her mother, it is revealed to have high expectations of her daughter.

The next day, Kari is revealed to have shown up early for practice, to the concern of Amber, Sofia, and Miss Elodie who all fear she's taking this way too seriously. During a duet, Kari reveals that she's a perfectionist for the same reason Sofia is. Sofia tells her she's doing fine and just needs to relax and have fun. Miss Elodie asks her old teacher Sergio Adagio to teach her and he does so.

The next day, Kari messes up her routine and she runs off. Sofia goes after Kari and finally gets her to understand that the point is to have fun. That night, Kari finally relaxes and enjoys herself, wowing the crowd along with Sofia and Amber.
