Success story

SHAKE IT UP

I love English interviewed Bella Thorne and Zendaya, two actors on Disney's TV series. 

Shake It up, Disney's new TV show for teenagers, began in the USA in 2010. The series is about two schoolfriends, CeCe and Rocky (played by Bella Thorne and Zendaya). In the series, the girls are chosen to dance on their favourite TV dance show. With its humour and cool dance scenes, the series is a big success in the USA.
