•Raquel "Rocky" Blue, portrayed by Zendaya, is a girl who is described as very intelligent, very
pretty, sweet, generous, and a goody-two shoes. Unlike her best friend CeCe, she values her intelligence more than her looks and how much fun she has. She's extremely intelligent but is more book-smart rather than street-smart, unlike CeCe. Rocky is constantly being pushed by CeCe to be more assertive and risk-taking. Her heart belongs to dancing. She is a vegetarian, as mentioned in Meatball It Up.
•Cecelia "CeCe" Jones, portrayed by Bella Thorne, is a brutally
honest, and bright yet somewhat ditzy girl. She's a bright girl in the sense of being street-smart rather than book-smart like her best friend Rocky. Initially, she performs poorly in school partially because of dyslexia, but also in part because of her "trouble-making" behavior. However, she gradually improves academically as the series progresses. She is strikingly beautiful and dresses in fabulous outfits, especially considering she cares more about looks than brains. CeCe is fearless and outgoing and is constantly getting into trouble. Despite her initially failing audition due to stage fright, she eventually earned a spot as a background dancer on "Shake It Up, Chicago". She also (unwillingly) dated Gunter in "Hot Mess It Up" because of some advice she gave Gunter and Tinka's cousin, but they broke up. She has red hair that was once described as fiery.
•Flynn Jones, portrayed by Davis Cleveland, is CeCe's younger brother. Described as "wise beyond his
years", his characteristics include having an appetite for bacon, playing video games and annoying his older sister. He feels a special affection for Rocky which is revealed in episode 18.His best friend is Cece's math tutor, a college graduate named Henry Dylan, who is about Flynn's age. He and Cece's parents are divorced. Their dad is mentioned only once.
•Gary Wilde, portrayed by R. Brandon Johnson, is the host of the dance show "Shake It Up, Chicago". He is attracted to photo shoots and drives a red Porche. He has proposed to Oprah, but has been turned down seven times. He has been arrested lots of time. Whenever he needs something done, he asks Cece and Rocky, but almost never returns the favor.
•Georgia Jones, portrayed by Anita Barone, is CeCe and Flynn's mother who is a police officer. It is hinted in "Meatball It Up" that she had CeCe at the young age of 16, as she stated that she is "still smoking hot at 29" while CeCe is 13. She might have had Flynn when she was 21.
•Marcie Blue, portrayed by Carla Renata, is Rocky and Ty's mother who owns two hair salons. Her husband is never mentioned. She might be the same age as Georgia, Cece and Flynn's mom.
•Henry Dillon, portrayed by Buddy Handleson, is Flynn's good friend. In his first appearance, he was CeCe's math tutor and later became Flynn's friend. He is a college graduate, pre-law and pre-med, though he is only eight or nine.
•Dina Garcia, portrayed by Ainsley Bailey, is Deuce's street-smart, on-off girlfriend. She is immensely rich. She is like a female Deuce.
•Mrs. Loccasio, portrayed by Renée Taylor, is a cranky elderly lady. She hates Rocky, as shown in "Give It Up". She was once a Vegas showgirl, possibly a Playboy Bunny because she said she danced in her "birthday suit".
