CeCe Jones

Cecelia "CeCe" Jones is one of the main characters on Shake It Up where she dances on the local teen dance show, Shake It Up, Chicago!. She is the daughter of Georgia Jones and J.J. Jones and the older sister of Flynn Jones. She lives in an apartment with her mother and brother in the suite below her best friend Rocky Blue and her family. Her parents are divorced and her father lives in Florida. She attends John Hughes High School in Chicago, Illinois.

CeCe is portrayed by Bella Thorne and by Skylar Keesee as a child in a flashback.

Personality
CeCe is an upbeat, brutally honest, bright, yet somewhat ditzy girl, and is described as "a daring wild child who is uncontrollable, funky, and fun" on the school blog. She's street-smart rather than book-smart, unlike her best friend, Rocky. Initially, she performs poorly in school partially because of dyslexia, but also because of her behavior as a trouble-maker. However, she gradually improves academically as the series progresses. CeCe is fearless and outgoing and is constantly getting into trouble. Despite her initially failing her audition due to stage fright, she eventually earned a spot as a background dancer on Shake It Up, Chicago!.
