A tutto ritmo

The show like all DCOS has a simple premise but with a twist in this case the main characters: "CeCe" (Thorne) and "Rocky" (Zendaya) are dancers on the most popular dance/music TV program in Chicago (a la Hairpray), CeCe lives With her little brother Flynn (Davis Cleveland) and her single Mom, Georgia (their house seems to be so far the the main set of the show, even though the show is promoted as a "buddy show", but it seems that Thorne is the main character and not Zendaya) then we have Gunther and Tinka (who are stereotypical European foreign exchange students with fake accents) the main characters fr-enemies. So far the show's been average but in my opinion it has potential but the main problem with the show is that the two leads are not most appealing persons, then there's Gunter who displays flamboyancy at its peak yet it is covered up by the fact he's foreign, i don't understand how Kenton duty came to be be this character he's the only one of all the cast i have seen before, in a movie called MY NAME IS KHAN where he did a a great tear dropping performance yet, apparently sell-ed his soul to Disney to become this unfunny idiotic character, NOW what i like the most about it's the fantastic performance of youngster Davis Cleveland, he's the funny and smart of the show, and then there's Adam Irigoyen who does great too as a dorky cool street smart character and the most realistic of all

I could probably comment on how Disney is going downhill, or that they need to stop with the shows about double-lives or trying to get into the show business. I will give it the benefit of the doubt that the jokes are a result of bad writing, the acting has potential though. These are the kinds of jokes I'd probably find funny if I was still 4-11 years old, because they've been recycled so much on Disney. For the most part it's so unrealistic, and need I explain why? It should only take you one episode to determine no 13 year old girl is THAT independent in the middle of Chicago. I remember shows like Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire, that are arguably just as cheesy as anything else Disney puts out. However, the main difference was it taught kids valuable life lessons, and TV doesn't care about that as much any more. The kids act spoilt, sassy, like they can always win and always get whatever they want. If kids keep growing up with this idea in their head that they can be sassy little brats as adults without getting beaten up or killed, it just shows you what's wrong with today's generation.

However, I do have a guilty pleasure for the fashion, the theme song is catchy and danceable, and the actors are really cute. However, those aren't really good reasons to like a show, but it did lift my rating from a 1 to a 3.

So, I started watching this last summer since I was bored and there was nothing else to watch. I barely remember the first episodes in details but they were fine. I usually watch it when I eat lunch since I like watching something while eating. lol

It's an OK show and I like the dancing and I think that the intro is well-done (weird to say). However, it's not like the older Disney shows. I remember watching Hannah Montana or Wizards of Waverly Place. They were cheesy and silly too and not the most meaningful thing to watch but there were some life lessons in them and there was some magic in them, they were waking some feelings in me and I couldn't wait to watch the next episode or if more episodes were already out, I watched like 3 or 4 at once. They were just fun shows which had something to grab your attention.

But Shake It Up couldn't do the same. I don't mind the bad acting since I don't expect brilliant acting in such shows. The dancing is cool and the dance scenes are well-done. I had stopped watching it for a while since I couldn't really find the episodes and it just didn't made me like it like it was with the old Disney shows. There are kids who like it, of course. But I found it kinda dumb like most people here. I'm fine with the repeatable topic for kids trying to succeed in show business since many children would love to and there's nothing bad in it. But it doesn't really show children dealing with the everyday problems like school, parents and doesn't really teach you anything at the end. Also, they dress like adults at times. Many teens do this nowadays though. And the characters are like my age. I do dress more like a woman sometimes but just on holidays or something. Maybe it's just that kids today are different than us. Even in real life kids are more stuck up and sassy than people my age and a bit older used to be as children so shows change too.

I think this show is completely awful and annoying. The acting and story lines are bad. I think the two main characters personalities are very similar and they do not act like individuals. They both think they are perfect and vain, which I guess it's good in someway to teach self confidence however it does get annoying after a while. Cici and Rocky wear a lot of makeup on the show, even my 12 year old sister pointed out how oddly dressed they were. However that is just a minor thing. Cici and Rocky are background dancers on a popular dance show, but they are not the best dancers. If they are, they do not really show their talent on the show. Compared to previous shows like Hannah Montana and the Suitelife which I found enjoyable and funny, Shake it up is not. The comedy is my main deciding factor on whether I would enjoy a Disney show, since Shake it up has none, I wouldn't watch it.

I was reading the reviews and most of them Are one thousand percent right. I watched it again on Disney Plus and my god the characters are so unlikeable.

Cece : The lead character of the show. She's the dumb one who seems like her and Rocky are always trying to run up each other. She always disrespects her mom and never hangs out with her brother. Cece and Rocky both have the man character energy of being a jerk to everyone.

Rocky : Rocky's voice was annoying in the beginning but she's the smart one. She only ever gets in trouble when Cece gets her in trouble. She's not that bad of a character.

Flynn- my god he is a annoying character. He is always pushing people around and serves no purpose in the show. He's usually in the sub-plot.

Ty- Ty is my 2nd least favorite character. He and deuce are supposed to be friends but they are always so mean to each other. He tries way to hard to be cool that is so cringey.

Deuce- he's my favorite character and the least problematic one but he's the butt monkey of the show.

Gunther & Tinka - Sometimes they are funny and other times they are annoying. They are always absent in the show. For some reason Gunther left the show after season 2 and tinka became Frenemies with everyone in season 3. It's obvious they didn't know what to do with her as she was absent in most of the episodes.

Dina - Dina is the worst character in the show. Her voice is so annoyIng and she treats deuce so bad. She's always threatening him and putting him down.

Overall most of the cast barley appear and annoying.
