No 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

Yea this show is just... really... bad. The cast is just plain awful. David Cleveland although he might just be an amateur is just intolerably annoying. And baaaaaad... I've met and babysat a lot of kids and I don't think any kid would act like that, which may be for comedic purposes... it's not... there's like no passion to his acting, it's like watching a elementary school play. Actually the whole show feels like that. In fact the only thing saving this review from a 1/10 is Bella Thorne who actually isn't that bad. Or maybe she's lucky she's really cute. Either way I actually liked that kid's performance and was the only reason I didn't hit that channel button. Her friend however... really irritating. Sorry to say. Of course this just judging from two episodes and frankly... I don't think I want to see anymore...

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 must admit that I am a Disney addict and completely love the early work and happily enjoy the live-action new Disney. Shake It Up is a great show for when you want to relax and turn off your brain for 30mins. It's not groundbreaking TV but it does have some great dance & music numbers and an adorable cast (Bella Thorne & Zendaya are fast becoming young style queens).

It can be luck of the draw as some episodes are pretty good, others not so much but I find it is a lot better than some of the other tween shows out there. So if you enjoy reverting back to your childhood every now and then or alternatively are a child then give it a shot. It's really not as bad as you might think.

This show is the worst show I have seen come out of Disney, wait, I have a correction, it is tied with A.N.T Farm.

I have only seen a couple episodes while babysitting a 6-year-old, and to put it frankly, I cannot see how she finds it a good show. I would rather her out Hannah Montana on than this thing they call a TV show,

So this show stars two 13 year girls. (Don't ask me their names because I couldn't tell you.) They are dancers on a show called Shake it Up Chicago. But the thing is, it is not really dancing. It is shaking their 13-year-old booties on a stage in clothes acceptable for...... a nothing really. When they are not on this show with no purpose, they are out trying to achieve their current egotistical goals that involves benefit for them. Meanwhile, there is a 6 year-old boy who never seems to be under the watchful eye of anyone. In reality, this show is meant to make a 6-year-old to shut up for 30 minutes.
