在这部舞动芝加哥 第一季剧情/喜剧/儿童片中,《舞动芝加哥第1季》讲述了单亲女孩CeCe（Bella Thorne饰）和闺蜜Rocky（Zendaya Coleman饰）原本只是两个爱跳舞的普通初中生。通过一个偶然的机会，两人参加了当地最火的电视舞蹈节目《舞动芝加哥》(Shake It Up Chicago)的试镜，竟然双双被节目组选中成为该节目的背景舞蹈演员。上电视的感觉让两个女孩欣喜若狂，但每周四十块钱的劳酬还是不够他们马上买到一部手机；何况还要面对来自两位奇怪的外国交换生的排挤，照顾CeCe调皮捣蛋的小弟弟Flynn。还好，Rocky的哥哥Ty总能在她们需要时助其一臂之力。
The adventures of best friends CeCe Jones and Rocky Blue who, with the help of Rocky's brother Ty and his best friend Deuce Martinez, fulfill their dreams of becoming professional dancers when they land roles as dancers on a local show, "Shake It Up, Chicago!".
