History Series / ShakeItUp

* EekAMouse: In one episode, Deuce gets scared and jumps onto a chair when he sees a mouse, which CeCe's brother, Flynn, mocks him for.

* PacManFever: A BlandNameProduct ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' that plays on UsefulNotes/Nintendo64, a system older than most of the cast. Bonus points for playing it with wireless UsefulNotes/PlayStation controllers.

* SarcasticConfession: In "Party It Up", , CeCe pulls this trick on her mom, "jokingly" telling her that she and Rocky are sneaking out to Cary Wilde's party while she leaves for work. Georgia easily buys it, even jokingly asking them to buy milk after they "sneak out".

* FlirtyStepsiblings: [=CeCe=] and Logan give off these vibes, in a BelligerentSexualTension sort of way. [[spoiler: Their parents end up calling off the wedding in the end]]; however, [[spoiler: in the future-set episode, we learn that Logan and [=CeCe=] are married]].

* GenerationXerox: From "Future It Up", Cece's son [[spoiler: with Logan]], L.J. looks almost exactly like Flynn.
%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

** And, according to "Future It Up", [[spoiler: Ty and Tinka and Cece and Logan, though Ty and Tinka won't get together for 22 years and Cece and Logan won't until some time after the show ends.]]

* StatusQuoIsGod: The entire 3rd season ran this way.[[spoiler: Shake It Up! Chicago burns down. A few episodes later, it was rebuilt. However, Gary Wilde is fired with Ty Blue as the new host, and Rocky is no longer a dancer. A few episodes later, both Gary and Rocky return to their respected positions on the show, though Ty still keeps his position and has to share it with Gary]]. There was even a marriage story arc involving Georgia Jones [[spoiler: but even that didn't go anywhere.]] The irony of that? [[spoiler:[=CeCe=] marries Logan instead]].

* WhyWasteAWedding: This happened in "I Do It Up", when Georgia and Jeremy decided to canceled their wedding as he wanted to have second thoughts about it, [[spoiler: though her ex-husband J.J. insisted that should get back together.]]

''Shake It Up'' (sometimes stylized as ''Shake It Up!'') is a Creator/DisneyChannel Original Series, developed by veteran TV producer [[Series/LaverneAndShirley Chris Thompson]] (in his final series creator role) that aired from November 7, 2010 to November 10, 2013.

The series revolves around HeterosexualLifePartners Cecilia "[=CeCe=]" Jones (Creator/BellaThorne) and Raquel "Rocky" Blue (Creator/{{Zendaya}}), two young teen best friends from inner-city UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} who find themselves one step closer to their dream of becoming professional dancers when they're hired as backup dancers on ''Shake It Up Chicago'', an ''Series/AmericanBandstand''-style variety show.

* AlphaBitch: Candy Cho gives off this vibe.
** Gunther and Tinka subvert this: they act like Alpha Bitches to Rocky and [=CeCe=], but given their FunnyForeigner[=/=]{{Cloudcuckoolander}} status, they're anything but.

''Shake It Up'' (sometimes stylized as ''[[ExcitedShowTitle Shake It Up!]]'') is a Creator/DisneyChannel Original Series, developed by veteran TV producer [[Series/LaverneAndShirley Chris Thompson]] (in his final series creator role) that aired from November 7, 2010 to November 10, 2013.

* EnfantTerrible: Gunther and Tinka's cousin, Klaus.

* FairCop: [=CeCe=]'s police officer mom Georgia.

* FriendsRentControl

* HalloweenEpisode: "Beam It Up".

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Gunther and Tinka.

* IronicEcho: At least once an episode.

* KidsShouldntWatchHorrorFilms: Flynn watches a horror movie in "Party It Up".

* {{Pilot}}: "Start It Up".

* ShipTease: In "Rock and Roll It Up" between Deuce and Rocky. Though it's their past selves. Also, [=CeCe=]/Gunther in "Reality Check It Up". From his point of view anyway.
** What? Past Selves? Wow. It was Ace and Trudy. There was no Deuce and Rocky in the episode at all.
*** All the characters from the past are basically the present characters with different names. Edie is just like [=CeCe=], Trudy is just like Rocky, Ace is a more suave Deuce, and Ty's character (forgot the name) is Ty. (In terms of being a ladies man, and the 'cool guy')
** Not really, they are not the same people. They have nothing to do with the present characters. No Rocky and Deuce.
*** Of course they aren't the same people. Subverted is what it would be, especially since Rocky showed disinterest in Deuce when it was mentioned in present day.
*** Although she was interested in Deuce's [[UncannyFamilyResemblance strangely identical cousin]] in "Surprise It Up", even accidentally kissing Deuce twice because she thought he was the cousin.
** "Add It Up" teases a Ty/Tinka pairing. SheCleansUpNicely, they end up dancing on an elevated train platform, and they both say they had a nice time and might go out again.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Ty and Tinka after "Add It Up".

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Rocky and Ty (both Zendaya and Roshon Fegan are mixed-race).

* SassyBlackWoman: Rocky's mom, and Rocky when she gets mad (though Rocky's [[AmbiguouslyBrown brown]], not black).

* CelebrityParadox: Between the two of them Creator/BellaThorne and Creator/{{Zendaya}} have four songs that have been played on the show during dance numbers, yet no one in the Shake It Up! universe wonders why [=CeCe=] and Rocky look like them. Could be explained by the fact that the singers of those songs are only heard and never seen, so there's no reason to believe anyone in-universe actually knows what they look like. Also, the song "Show Ya How" is by Adam and Kenton (Deuce and Gunther respectively) in "Protest It Up"

* DawsonCasting: In-universe example in the episode "Age It Up": "teen sensation" Justin Starr is really 24 and married (his wife goes on tour with him as his "manager"), and plays 16 to appeal to teenage girls. The show itself avoids this--none of the leads are in their twenties, with only Roshon Fegan (whose character is older than the rest anyway) being over 16. Ainsley Bailey who plays 14 year old Dina Garcia is 20 in real life.

** Deuce tries to make Gunther this In-Universe [[SheCleansUpNicely after a little makeover]]. Ends up applying outside the universe, too.

* OneSteveLimit: Invoked in-universe.

* MsFanservice: [=CeCe=] & Rocky can be seen as this, through use of PaintedOnPants and ShesGotLegs, respectively.

* AwesomeMcCoolname:
** Deuce Martinez.
** Gary Wilde is another example.
** RealLife/Behind the scenes examples: Zendaya is at least arguably a pretty cool name. Caroline Sunshine definitely fits this trope (and yes, that's her actual birth name).
*** Creator/BellaThorne qualifies.
** Rocky Blue.
