Behind the Scenes

• Although Shake It Up takes place in Chicago, the show is filmed in Los Angeles, CA at Los Angeles Center Studios.
• The Main Street train station is frequently seen on the show and has the city block coordinates of "3600N" and "940W". In reality, these block coordinates are those of the Addison station.
