Zendaya stars as Raquel “Rocky” Blue, one half of the comedic duo of young dancers trying to dance her way to stardom, in the new Disney Channel series “Shake It Up!”
Born September 1, 1996, in Oakland, California, Zendaya
grew up as part of the nearby California Shakespeare Theater in Orinda,
where her mother works as the House Manager. In addition to training at
the theater’s student conservatory program, and later performing in
numerous stage productions, Zendaya helped her mom seat patrons and sell raffle tickets to benefit the theater.
While attending the Oakland School for the Arts, she starred as
Little Ti Moune in “Once on This Island” at the Berkley Playhouse and
the breakout role of the male character Joe in “Caroline, or Change” at
Palo Alto’s TheaterWorks. She also studied her craft at the CalShakes
Conservatory program and at the American Conservatory Theater. Her other
stage credits include “Richard III,” “Twelfth Night,” “As You Like It,”
among others.
Zendaya, which means “to give thanks” in Shona (a
Bantu language native to the Shona people of Zimbabwe), was a fashion
model for Macy’s, Mervyns and Old Navy. She was also one of the back-up
dancers in a Sears commercial featuring Disney Channel star Selena Gomez. Zendaya
also spent three years dancing with Future Shock Oakland, a hip hop
dance troupe, and two years dancing hula with AHA, The Academy of
Hawaiian Arts.
Zendaya now resides in Los Angeles, California with
her family and dog, a Giant Schnauzer named Midnight. Her interests
include singing, dancing and clothes designing.
