Production
The show was ordered up as Disney's attempt at its first female buddy show,[clarification needed] but with a dance-driven aspect.[7] Initially carrying the working title Dance, Dance Chicago, the original description was described as the journey of two kids on a contemporary American Bandstand-type show.[8] Veteran television producers Chris Thompson, a former writer for Laverne & Shirley and co-creator of Bosom Buddies and Rob Lotterstein, who had worked on several series including Boy Meets World were assigned to work on the story.[6][9] Casting for the show began in October 2009.[8] 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, ... this is the first time anyone has incorporated dancing into the underlying premise of a sitcom."[10]
The concept of the show has been noted to be very similar to that of fellow Disney Channel series

Casting
In initial casting, Disney searched for two female co-leads.[16] 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 took dance classes three times a week to improve.[12] 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.[16] Having the same agent that discovered Miley Cyrus, she won the role after several auditions and over 200 other hopefuls.[7] On the casting of the two, Judy Taylor, Senior Vice President of Casting for Disney Channel, commented that Zendaya was "completely engaging" with a "great presence" and that Thorne had "high energy" and viewers would "want to get to know her better the instant you meet her."[16] 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. It was like we were meant to be together."[7]
Adam Irigoyen was cast as Deuce Martinez[13] Irigoyen credited his family for his success, moving him out to Los Angeles two years prior for him to start his career.[13] Irigoyen previously worked on Wizards of Waverly Place.[10] Davis Cleveland, whose work included guest appearances on Good Luck Charlie, Zeke and Luther and Hannah Montana, was cast as CeCe's younger brother, Flynn.[10]
