Just a guess, but I don't think Mai's path will get any more development than she did in the 2002 version. A bit surprised that the dance came so early in her story - it served as a catalyst, rather than the climax in this version. It's certainly a sign that Mai's storyline is considered a secondary one in KyoAni's eyes.
In any case the true story won't really pick up until about Episode 19, when the Nayuki and Ayu arcs should start in full force. Think of the first ~18 episodes as the introduction for what is to come.
And if KyoAni comes up with a stunning series of episodes at the end, I'll be more than happy to give them my props.
