In Princess Debut, it's your job to switch places with a nervous princess (who looks just like you and shares your name), and not only learn to dance, but somehow win the heart of one of several handsome princes before the end of 30 days. It's basically a "choose your own adventure" story where everything you say or do has an effect on the ending. When you've gained enough dancing experience points you can also unlock dresses and other items.
I personally think it's very cute. Learning to dance can be frustrating, though - you basically follow a moving ball around with your stylus, and they grade you on whether or not you can stay inside that ball as it moves ("bad," "great," etc.). And if you've got your sights set on a certain prince, it's hard to find them when you want them (and even if you do, it's difficult to get them to really warm up to you to the point where they'd ask you to be their dancing partner). But if you love stories about royalty and especially romance, check it out.
Wikipedia says this is a otome game, which is "a video game that is targeted towards a female market, where one of the main goals, besides the plot goal, is to develop a romantic relationship between the player character (a female) and one of several male characters." So there you have it.
