Last summer, the Disney Channel hosted the wildly popular kids-only dance competition, Make Your Mark: Ultimate Dance Off: Shake It Up Edition. More than 28,000 audition videos were submitted online and six talented finalists were chosen. The finalists competed in a professionally-choreographed dance event telecast live on the Disney Channel, and the winners, a team of four dancers named AKSquared, were featured as spotlight dancers on an episode of Shake It Up.

Millions of Disney Channel fans tuned in for the 2011 Ultimate Dance Off and thousands more have eagerly waited for the opportunity to show off their dance moves in a new competition. GREAT NEWS! Disney has confirmed that MAKE YOUR MARK WILL RETURN IN JULY 2012 for a second edition of the competition series. Like last year’s Shake It Up Edition, the 2012 competition will feature an online audition period followed by an October telecast of the semi-finalist showdown.
Did you know that most Disney Channel original series are shot on production studios in Hollywood and Los Angeles, California? California may be the center of film and television production in America, but it’s not where most of the shows actually take place. Disney Channel’s west coast sets stand in for diverse locations throughout the United States, including New York City, Washington D.C., and Chicago.
Map of Disney Channel Series: State by State
Below is a chart of popular Disney Channel shows and the cities that are integral to their settings. Did you know that the Tipton Hotel in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody is located in Boston, Massachusetts? Or that Sonny With a Chance takes place in Appleton, Wisconsin? Find out more below!
The Make Your Mark: Ultimate Dance Off ‘Shake It Up’ Edition was a wild success for the Disney Channel. When the competition first began in July, Disney received more than 28,000 online audition videos and selected six semi-finalist dance acts (AKsquared, Jade, Amir, Casey and Sam, Arjang, Christine and June) to compete in the premiere televised event of the Ultimate Dance Off on the Disney Channel.

The competition aired on Friday, October 14th, followed by a Sunday night results show, drawing 4.2 and 4.0 million total viewers, respectively. Both the Friday and the Sunday telecasts were tops in their time slots for Kids 6-11 (2.0/2.2 million) and Tweens 9-14 (1.6/1.8 million).
Earlier tonight the Disney Channel aired the premiere of Make Your Mark: The Ultimate Dance Off ‘Shake It Up’ Edition. The six semi-finalists (Amir, Arjang, Jade, AKsquared, Christine and June, and Casey and Sam) showed off their best dance moves for celebrity judges Selena Gomez, Sean Kingston, Rosero McCoy, and millions of Disney Channel viewers.
For two hours after the event, fans were able to vote up to 5 times by text and 5 times online for their favorite contestants. I have had trouble getting onto the official Make Your Mark website to cast my vote, which makes me think that Disney’s website wasn’t prepared to handle a huge jump in traffic from excited fans eager to vote online.
Christmas may be the most popular time to visit the Disney parks, but in my opinion, Halloween is the best Disney holiday. From spooky theme park rides to TV specials and tons of character costumes for kids and adults, Disney makes it easy to get in the holiday spirit.
If your family loves to cozy up together and for a post-trick-or-treat Halloween movie fest, there are several Disney films with just enough chills and thrills for the whole family to enjoy. Recommended holiday movies are below!
