Shake It Up is an American television sitcom airing on Disney Channel in the United States. The series premiered on November 7, 2010. Created by Chris Thompson and starring Bella Thorne and Zendaya, the show follows the adventures of CeCe Jones (Thorne) and Rocky Blue (Zendaya) as they star as background dancers on a local show, "Shake It Up, Chicago." It also chronicles their misadventures on- and off-set, and their troubles and rising social status at school. Davis Cleveland, Roshon Fegan, Adam Irigoyen, Kenton Duty and Caroline Sunshine also co-star in the series. The show's original concept was for Disney to create a female buddy comedy, only with a dance aspect. The dance concept is Disney's third original series, after The Famous Jett Jackson and Sonny with a Chance, to use a show-within-a-show format.

On March 16, 2011, it was announced that series has been renewed for a second season.[1] An album with songs from the series, Shake It Up: Break It Down, was released on July 12, 2011.[2]

Premise

Shake It Up revolves around the adventures of best friends Rocky Blue (Zendaya) and CeCe Jones (Bella Thorne), who with the help of their longtime friend , Deuce Martinez (Adam Irigoyen), fulfill their favorite dreams of becoming professional dancers when they land roles as dancers on a local show, "Shake It Up, Chicago!".[3] Cece and Rocky deal with their circumstances, by adapting and maintaining their social status at school while watching CeCe's little brother, Flynn (Davis Cleveland), and the antics of their TV show which includes their matching the skills of their competition, notably brother and sister, Gunther and Tinka (Kenton Duty and Caroline Sunshine).[3] The show also has storylines which include Rocky's brother Ty (Roshon Fegan), who also has dance skills.[3] Selena Gomez sings the theme song, "Shake It Up" and featured it on "Shake It Up: Break It Down"

Background

The show was ordered up as Disney's attempt in its first female buddy show, but with a dance-driven aspect.[4] Initially carrying the working title Dance, Dance Chicago, the original description was described as the journey of two kids on an contemporary American Bandstand-type show.[5] Veteran television producers Chris Thompson, a former writer for Laverne & Shirley and creator of Bosom Buddies and Rob Lotterstein, who had worked on several series including Boy Meets World were assigned to work on the story.[3][6] Casting for the show began in October 2009.[5] Bella Thorne and Zendaya were cast as the two female leads, as well as Camp Rock cast member Roshon Fegan in a co-lead role. On May 21, 2010, with the title change revealed as Shake It Up, the production for the show was announced to begin in July, and anticipated for a fall 2010 premiere. President of Disney Entertainment, Gary Marsh said the Bella Thorne/Zendaya duo were the most engaging best friends they had seen on the network. On what makes the show different, Marsh said "while buddy comedies have been around since the start of television," that "this is the first time anyone has incorporated dancing into the underlying premise of a sitcom."[7]

The concept of the show has been noted to be very similar to that of fellow Disney Channel series Hannah Montana, and according to The Sun-Sentinel, Shake It Up is the same approach with dance.[8] Additionally, the show is Disney's third series to have a show-within-a-show following "Silverstone" in The Famous Jett Jackson and "So Random" in Sonny with a Chance. Chuck Barney of the Contra Costa Times said that the show's plots "play out in typical Disney Channel style with uncomplicated story lines, broad humor and moral uplift."[4] In an interview, Bella Thorne said of the show, "It is about them going through the stuff that teens go through every day. The writing is very realistic. I have gone through most of these problems."[9] Rosero McCoy, a choreographer for Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam was tapped to be a choreographer for the show, along with Claude Racine.[10] Shake It Up is shot at Los Angeles Center Studios.[4]

The series succeeds Hannah Montana, Jonas L.A., I'm in the Band and Phineas and Ferb as Disney's latest foray into music-oriented series.[5] According to Rick Bently of the Fresno Bee, the show's timing was to capitalize off the success of the current dance series' Dancing With the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance.[11] Original music for the series has been produced and recorded by the show's cast and various artists, with the theme song "Shake It Up" performed by Disney star and Hollywood Records artist Selena Gomez.[12] The theme was written by Aris Archontis, Jeanne Lurie and Chen Neeman, who also penned the opening title themes to fellow Disney series Sonny with a Chance and Good Luck Charlie.

Casting

In initial casting, Disney searched for two female co-leads.[13] Although boasting elaborate credits of prior television experience, including guest starring on Wizards of Waverly Place, Bella Thorne was cast after never dancing professionally before, and takes dance classes three times a week to improve.[9] Zendaya had theater background prior to her casting, and grew up in theater when her mother worked in the California Shakespeare Theater in Oakland, California.[13] Having the same agent that discovered Miley Cyrus, she won the role after several auditions and over 200 other hopefuls.[4] On the casting of the two, Judy Taylor, Senior Vice President of Casting for Disney Channel commented that Coleman was "completely engaging" with a "great presence" and that Thorne had "high energy" and viewers would want to "want to get to know her better the instant you meet her."[13] One goal was for the two leads to have chemistry working together, and Thorne said of her relationship with Zendaya, "When we first met, there was this energy," she says. "It was like we were meant to be together."[4]

Adam Irigoyen was cast as Deuce Martinez[10] Irigoyen credited his family for his success, moving him out to Los Angeles two years prior for him to start his career.[10] Irigoyen has previously worked on Wizards of Waverly Place.[7] Davis Cleveland, whose work included guest appearances on Good Luck Charlie, "Zeke and Luther" and Hannah Montana Forever, was cast as CeCe's younger brother, Flynn.[7]

Disney Channel veteran Roshon Fegan, who co-starred in both films of the Camp Rock film series, was cast as Rocky's older brother Ty. In the recurring role of Gary Wilde, R. Brandon Johnson was cast the day before the pilot and began taping the next day.[10] Kenton Duty was cast as Gunther, after four audition attempts,[10] and Caroline Sunshine landed the role of Gunther's twin sister Tinka after canceling plans for a family vacation so she could audition. The brother/sister duo of Gunther and Tinka is said to be inspired by Ryan and Sharpay Evans of Disney's High School Musical series.[14]

Some notable celebrity guest-stars have included Renée Taylor, Chris Trousdale, John D'Aquino, Anneliese van der Pol, Kent Boyd and Cat Deeley of So You Think You Can Dance and America's Best Dance Crew contestants JabbaWockeeZ (Season 1 Champions), Quest Crew (Season 3 Champions), Poreotics (Season 5 Champions), Jungle Boogie (Season 5), Saltare (Season 5), Breaks8 (season 1) and Instant Noodles (Season 6).

  • Cecelia "CeCe" Jones[3][15], portrayed by Alexis, is a bubbly, brutally honest, and bright yet somewhat ditzy girl. She's a bright girl in the sense of being street-smart rather than book-smart like her best friend Rocky. Initially, she performs poorly in school partially because of dyslexia, but also in part because of her "trouble-making" behavior. However, she gradually improves academically as the series progresses. CeCe is fearless and outgoing and is constantly getting into trouble. Despite her initially failing audition due to stage fright, she eventually earned a spot as a background dancer on "Shake It Up, Chicago". She also (unwillingly) dated Gunter in "Hot Mess It Up" because of some advice she gave Gunter and Tinka's cousin, but they broke up.
  • Raquel "Rocky" Blue[3], portrayed by Alexis, is a girl who is described as a very pretty, sweet, generous, goody-two shoes and is very successful in school. Unlike her best friend CeCe, she values her intelligence more than her looks and how much fun she has. She's extremely intelligent but is more book-smart rather than street-smart, unlike CeCe. Rocky is constantly being pushed by CeCe to be more assertive and risk-taking. Her heart belongs to dancing. She is a vegeterian, as mentioned in Meatball it Up.
  • Flynn Jones[3], portrayed by Davis Cleveland, is CeCe's younger brother. Described as "wise beyond his years", his characteristics include having an appetite for bacon, playing video games and annoying his older sister. He feels a special affection for Rocky which is revealed in episode 18.[16]
  • Ty Blue[3], portrayed by Roshon Fegan, is Rocky's older brother who is an aspiring actor. Although a skilled dancer, he passed on the chance to try out for "Shake It Up Chicago", claiming he doesn't dance for "the man"[17] His personality is described as "hip, cool and sarcastic," and proclaims himself as a ladies' man.[18] He and Deuce are often seen together, but have an odd friendship because they mostly tease and prank each other. A possible romance based relationship was developed in episode "Add It Up" (Season 1 Episode 4) between him and Tinka, but was not further progressed in any following episodes.
  • Deuce Martinez[3], portrayed by Adam Irigoyen, is CeCe and Rocky's street-smart friend. He is said to have an inside-track to almost everything.[19] Deuce is best friends with Ty and is Dina's boyfriend. He often babysits Flynn, along with Ty. He and Ty are often seen together in most episodes and have an odd friendship with each other because most of the time, they tease and prank each other. In "Break It Up", it is revealed that Deuce faints at the sight of blood after Rocky show him how her foot is badly cut.
  • Gunther Hessenheffer[3], portrayed by Kenton Duty, is the fraternal twin brother of Tinka (portrayed by Caroline Sunshine) who came to Chicago as exchange students from a small mountain country in the first grade.[17] He and his sister are "frenemies" to Rocky and CeCe at school and as fellow dancers on "Shake It Up, Chicago. "[17] Having distinct accents, the siblings wear bright, sparkly accented clothing.[20]

Recurring characters

  • Tinka Hessenheffer[3], portrayed by Caroline Sunshine, is the fraternal twin sister of Gunther (portrayed by Kenton Duty) who came to Chicago as exchange students from a small mountain country in the first grade.[17] She and her brother are "frenemies" to Rocky and CeCe at school and as fellow dancers on "Shake It Up, Chicago."[17] Having distinct accents, the siblings wear bright, sparkly accented clothing. She is not mentioned as a main character but in all except one episode Tinka has appeared whenever Gunther did so, and she even appeared in one episode without Gunther, thus she and her fraternal brother have made the same amount of appearances despite her brother being a main character and her being a recurring character. She seems to have a crush on Ty.
  • Georgia Jones, portrayed by Anita Barone, is CeCe and Flynn's mother who is a police officer. It is hinted in "Meatball It Up" that she had CeCe at the young age of 16, as she stated that she is "still smoking hot at 29" while CeCe is 13.
  • Marcie Blue, portrayed by Carla Renata, is a Rocky and Ty's mother who owns two hair salons.
  • Henry, portrayed by Buddy Handleson, is CeCe's math tutor, but later is Flynn's good friend.
