My daughter is only three years old so we are not regular viewers of the popular pre-teen dance orientated programme Shake It Up however we are familiar with the Disney Channel and we have come into contact with it!
I think anything with dance and singing appeals to my little girl so if we’re at my Mum’s (who has the channel) and it’s on then Florence will undoubtedly be dancing along even if she’s not really watching as such!
It’s an incredibly popular programme it seems! All about best friends CeCe Jones (Bella Thorne) and Rocky Blue (Zendaya) who have dreamed about becoming professional dancers ever since they were little girls. Their big break finally comes when the girls get jobs as dancers on a local TV dance show called “Shake It Up, Chicago.” Now, in the third season, Rocky and CeCe must re-audition for their spots on the show and balance their dance lives with school, boys, and family. Through it all, these two best friends always stick together.
So, the programme does go a bit over Florence’s head but the music doesn’t and when I mentioned to friends with older girls who ARE fans of the show and said we were going to review the new ‘Shake It Up’ album, ‘I <3 Dance’, they all said we’d love it! They weren’t wrong!
The new album cover!
The album, which is available to buy on Amazon for £9.97 or with each MP3 download for just 89p, is fun and funky with catchy lyrics and dance-able beats! It totally appeals to my little lady who is, like most girls her age I would say, into glitter, sparkle and being a girlie girl!
Florence loves dancing and enjoys all music from nursery rhyme songs to old Beatles albums of her Daddy’s. I’d say she is already really musical and of course with Daddy as a musician, I’m sure it’s in her genes. She has an eclectic taste, sings and dances all the time and this album hit the spot for her!
We ALL love the special remix of the theme song by Selena Gomez and have been jigging around to it since we heard it! Our other favourites are ‘Future Sounds Like Us‘ because it’s really poppy, ‘These Boots Are made For Walking‘ (Obviously a cover) and we liked the rapping on ‘I Can Do Better‘!
Great little album which won’t annoy the adults, the whole family can sing along to in the car and encourages dancing by the sheer beats! It’s up temp, glitzy and very, very girlie!
Little girls will love it! Why not show them this sampler on You Tube to check the songs out before you buy?
