casting for disney channel – Shake it Up season 3 may be coming soon in 2012 and maybe you too will have a shot to audition for ‘Shake It Up’.
Shake It Up premiered on November 7, 2010 and the Disney Channel show was created by Chris Thompson. Shake It Up stars Bella Thorne as CeCe Jones and Zendaya as Rocky Blue.
When the show was cast over 200 girls auditioned for the parts of CeCe and Rocky – Bella Thorne and Zendaya were the lucky and talented girls who got the part. Bella Thorne had never been a dancer and began taking dance classes and Zendaya had a background in theater. Casting directors for Disney later commented that the 2 girls were chosen because they had great energy.
The two friends become background dancers on a show called Shake It Up that is in Chicago. The series is their adventures both on and off the Shake It Up set as they try to keep their social lives, school lives and new found stardom all in balance.
The 2 girls are best friends and end up in many comedic situations. The show within a show format is one that Disney Channel used before with shows like Sonny with a Chance and The Famous Jett Jackson. The show within a show format creates a TV series that is about another series or people who act in another series. Shake It Up takes a dance twist because the two girls are dancers. The show is kinda like Hannah Montana, except with dance instead of singing.
Shake It Up also stars Davis Cleveland, Roshon Fegan, Adam Irigoyen, Kenton Duty and Caroline Sunshine.
Shake it Up cast:
- Bella Thorne as CeCe Jones
- Zendaya as Rocky Blue
- Davis Cleveland as Flynn Jones
- Roshon Fegan as Ty Blue
- Adam Irigoyen as Deuce Martinez
- Kenton Duty as Gunther Hessenheffer
- Caroline Sunshine as Tinka Hessenheffer
Besides the main cast above there are actors who are recurring yet don’t appear in every single episode.
Season 2 is airing now and hopefully season 3 will start taping very soon if the show gets renewed by Disney Channel.
check out this Shake it Up video:
Every episode of the show uses extras and other actors to support the main cast. Supporting actors and extras are cast through casting agents and those casting calls go out as needed when the show is
filming.

Brief Profile: My name is Nurriah (nur-rye-uh). I’ve always wanted to be on a show in disney channel or even nickelodeon. I sing and act and have been in a few plays and performances including small class projects. Getting even a small role in a show/series would mean a lot to me! I’m a strong singer and an even stronger actor. I have great energy and I’m not afraid to be different.I love bringing smiles to peoples faces and giving back to others. If given a chance to prove myself it will be one to remember.
I love shake it up. I always wanted to be apart of it.
HI I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A ACTRESS. YOU SAID YOU NEED SOMEONE CRAZY, WELL I HAVE HDHD WHICH MAKE YOU HYPER, SO I HAVE A GOOD MEMORY. I KNOW THE LINES TO MY TV SHOW I WATCH.
I am 15 in September and people always say that watching Disney channel is babyish but I don’t care because what they think doesn’t matter to me any more. I love shake it up, and I love dancing and if they have a problem with that then that’s up to them to solve. I used to be really quiet and shy because I have dyslexia and I always thought that I was dumb and stupid, I wouldn’t answer questions in class or read out my work because I was scared that if I got it wrong then they would make fun of me. I never told anyone about it because of what they might have thought, I mean I was different and I didn’t like it, no one knew what it was like, I tried really hard but no matter how hard I tried I never was as good as everyone else. then one day I was watching shake it up the episode where cece told rocky that she had dyslexia and that gave me the confidence to tell my best friend, she has supported me every since and she is a really great best friend. I then found out that bella thorne had dyslexia and I felt less alone, she gave me the confidence to stand out and tell people that in was dyslexic, after this my teachers gave me help and my best friend helped me loads now I’m in top set for everything at school all because of bella. I want to be just like her and change peoples lives, and that’s why I’m auditioning for Disney.

I always dreamed of being part of a disney show! When I was 6, I decided to be an actress one day. I’m from Austria, Europe, there for I couldn’t speak English. Now I’m 14 and I can speak English very well. No I hope that I can make my dreams come true and get a part in a Disney show. But it’s hard. I’ve never been in a movie, but I can act very well. Most of the Disney stars need experience in acting, but I act every day, there for I think I could act almost every part. I love dancing as well. Every time when I’m sad, I’m dancing and it always cheers me up. Many people want to have a part in a disney show because of the fame, I want it because I love acting with all my heart.
Love, Marisa

I’m just my own person with my own personality and style, so I really do hope you’ll give me a chance whenever you need a new role 🙂 just please tell me your opinion, if I’m not good enough its okay. Plus, I am also known as the daredevil. I know that part wasn’t necessary but I just wanted to put that. BTW, I admire Bella & Zendaya and I have a huge gigantic crush on Adam Irigoyen!! 😀 <3

Hey my name is Hannah Fullbrook and I am 14 years old. My dream is to be on Disney channel my favourite show is shake it up because I love dancing and singing. Bella thorne and zendaya coleman are my favourite actresses they are such an inspiration to me. I love shake it up and I know all the dances. I live In England but I’m sure that if my parents knew that I had a chance of being on Disney channel even if it was just in the back ground I’m sure that we would be on the next flight over there. I do drama in school for gcse and music. I know how to play the guitar and piano. I was gonna do dance but there wasn’t a course. I have blond hair and blue eyes and being on Disney channel would be a dream come true and like my big break. I know that hundreds of people audition every day to be on Disney channel but why you should pick me to be on Disney channel is because I am a very committed person. I have realised I am by doing cheerleading for nearly 6 years. I can also bring spirit to the Disney family that no one else can and my family say that I have a big heart. If you choose me to be part of the Disney family, I would be eternally great full. When I am older I would hope to be able to go to Juilliard to study to have more experience with drama, music and dance. I hope you will choose me.

Hi,
I live in Portugal and I am 16 years old.
Since I was a little girl, I have the dream of someday be acting with famous people. I want to do parts in movies, series, I want to sing my own songs, etc.
I have already thought to do a band (of course that’s a possibility), but my dream is to sing my own songs in solo or maybe in a duet.
Unfortunately in Portugal some don’t really care about arts, but in the USA , there are a lot of more opportunities and that’s the reason why I want to go there.
I did English classes since I was 8 years old.
I did Spanish classes since I was 12 years old.
I did ballet since I was 8 years old.
I did jazz dance since I was 13 years old.
I did swimming classes since I was 5 years old.
I took singing/drama classes for 2 years.
I took art classes since I was 11 years old.
I really want to have a chance to try to get in a company like Disney or other… Maybe start with the music.
The trip to the USA is really expensive. What I mean is this, spend money on a trip to USA without a warranty is expensive, but maybe if you can assess myself and tell me if I have a chance to shine in something over there, I will probably spend my money, because I will have a warranty that I have possibilities.
Please let me know your opinion!
Please let me know if you know someone that can help me!
Thanks!

Hi my name is Cayla. I’m 12 years old. I did gymnastics for 10 years and then I quit and started to dance. It is my dream to become a dancer when I get up on the stage and dance people can see my emotions of the dance. I do ballet, tap, jazz and lyrical, I think my strongest is lyrical because that tells a story and if you look at my face it tells the whole story. I really want this job and it is my dream to dance with famous people. I want to be a professional dancer when I grow up so please can I go on the show.

Hey I’m Regina! I’m 15. And I have have been dancing all my life!
1. I went to a professional ballet school for 5 years, and it was a very basic and strong experience for my future dancing life.
2. I did: gymnastics, ballroom dancing, modern dance, a little bit of National Ukrainian dance (because I live in Ukraine, but I’m moving to Ontario, Canada for years 2012-2013), I also dis acrobatics, a little of jazz-fank and a bit of break dance.
3. Right now I am doing hip-hop, contemporary dance, and gymnastics( just for the stretching part). + I still dance ballet just for my personal fulfillment and joy.
I have a good, sporty body shape.
Even thought dance is everything that my life is about I also sing and learn to play piano + I took acting lessons for about a year..
I am a very hard worker! It’s hard to find a young girl that will work as hard as I do. I do my best in everything. It will be very easy to shape something that you want to see from my skills and looks. I can prove that I am worth to be a part of Shake It Up Show.
Here is a bit about myself:
-reddish brown hair (natural is brown)
