Cece Jones and Rocky Blue are two ambitious young girls growing up in Chicago with dreams of becoming professional dancers. They seize the opportunity after auditioning and winning for the weekly popular dance show Shake It Up, Chicago! CeCe's goals are mostly supported by her single mother Georgia, as long as she helps her mischievous little brother Flynn. Rocky's brother Ty encourages her, just like their mutual friend Deuce. Meanwhile, the scheming exchange students Gunther and Tinka, who also want to dance competitively, constantly try to sabotage the girls' goals.
