A new show will be hitting the Disney Channel this Fall 2010 called “Shake It Up!” The show was originally set to be titled “Dance, Dance, Chicago,” but according to reports the name has changed. The show will begin filming in July in Hollywood, California.
The show was created by Chris Thompson (“Laverne and Shirley,” “Bosom Buddies,” “The Naked Truth,” “Action”) and executive-produced by Thompson and Rob Lotterstein (“The War at Home,” “Ellen”).
The lead star of the show is Bella Thorne (“Big Love”), who guest starred in an episode of the Disney Channel series “Wizards of Waverly Place.”
Gary Marsh, President and Chief Creative Officer of Disney Channels Worldwide said about the show:
Newcomers Bella Thorne and Zendaya make for one of the most likable and engaging BFF duos we’ve ever seen. And while buddy comedies have been around since the start of television, what makes ‘Shake It Up’ unique is that this is the first time anyone has incorporated dancing into the underlying premise of a sitcom.
The show will be about two characters, CeCe Jones and Raquel “Rocky” Blue, who dream of becoming professional dancers. They become background dancers on the most popular teen dance show “Shake It Up, Chicago,” and have to learn a bunch of new dance moves, while at the same time taking part in a number of new adventures!
Actors in the show include:
- Bella Thorne as CeCe Jones
- Zendaya as Raquel “Rocky” Blue
- Kenton Duty (“Lost”) as Gunther
- Adam Irigoyen (“Wizards of Waverly Place”) as Deuce
- Davis Cleveland (“Good Luck Charlie,” “Desperate Housewives”) as Flynn Jones
Does this sound like a show you will be tuning in for?

Those adorable 13 year olds wear WAY to much makeup…and the clothes???? Not to mention the dancing….I have a 14 year old who isn’t that out there (and she is a popular teen among her peers)….wrong message Disney
Hi I’m 9 years old and in dance,dance,shicago can u mention my name on the new episode ima big fan of you guys and rokie is the coolest so rock on rokie,lol by the way I hope I spelled ur name write enjoy your new episode bye and by the way if the name don’t show my name is angel figueroa,sent with a lot of love by angel figueroa
I think they should have picked a cuter girl to play rocky or whatever her name is, disney has a history of having very cute stars but she ain’t cuttin’ it her face looks weird like it’s too small and squished together. I can’t stand her so much I change the channel. Replace her and the show may make it.
I watch shake it up everyday!

i love shake it up.
Hey Rockie and CC! What are you doing? I am a big fan of yours.
This show is not funny and offensive. Makes fun of Deuce for getting zits from popcorn @ the movies. Everyday kids have to deal with pimples! Cece & Rocky laughed right in his face because of their “perfect” little skin. Bella is full of herself and the show is unoriginal and boring.
I’m watching shake it up right now! the new one!
how old are you Selena?
Selena Gomez is 19 years old.
You guys are AWSOME on Disney channel I love your show!!!!!!!!!!!
