Well, since this is from a Disney channel show "Shake It Up", basically they've replaced the verb in the phrasal verb "to shake (something) up".
If you use a name as a verb (which is hardly standard English), then you do something in the manner of that person or place.
Interestingly, this "(verb) it up" pattern works a little like a perfective verb (ie. dokonavé sloveso), ie. you do the action to completion.
