I was sent a copy of Shake It Up: I Love Dance to review and it was promptly grabbed from my hands by my teen. I heard a few songs before the CD disappeared into my teen’s room. She popped it into her CD player, and it has been on constant rotation ever since. I thought I would allow my daughter to help with this review.
Here are some thoughts from The Bee:
My mom got a copy of Shake it Up: I Love Dance and I was excited! I mean, who doesn’t love Shake it Up? And now I’ve got the songs!
On the CD, I really love Contagious Love by Zendaya & Bella Thorne. It’s a good song that I can dance to. It’s my favorite, actually, and I can see making a video using that song.
I was happy to hear Coco Jones, Holla at the DJ. Coco Jones is a really good singer and this song is also good to dance to and this will also be a video.
My mom likes These Boots Were Made for Walking by Olivia Holt. That was OK. I liked it when I saw it on the show but not really on the CD.
I think this is a really good CD. It made me dance, I have a few videos I want to make and I like listening to it when I am doing my homework and hanging in my room. I can listen to this with my little brother and not have to turn it off and I like hearing songs from the show.
You don’t have to take our words for it. Check out a copy of Shake it Up: I Love Dance for yourself. The songs are appropriate for teens and tweens. I never felt uncomfortable listening to it with mu daughter in the room. Also, even on constant repeat I didn’t feel the need to have The Bee turn the music off (well, there were a few evenings when I had to confiscate the CD and insist on a decent bedtime.)
Bonus!
Here is a video of Contagious Love.
You’re welcome!
