I was so disappointed at the tied-down outcome of my first Dance animation assignment that I decided to use my 3 days of self-study making a whole new version. This time I chose the charming and bouncy piece of Bruno Coulais' soundtrack to Secret of Kells.
I then chose to use my own character, which I was comfortable and skilled at drawing. Animating this was much easier because of this. This is as far as I've managed to clean it up, and I left the rough animation and time-charts visible underneath because I like ruffs with charts; it makes it look like you know what you're doing :)
I may have taken the high-road on this, but the character's personality really comes across, and it gave me a great excuse to practise bounces, overshooting and settling-wobbles. Fat characters are fun to animate.
Also, here's an old little rough practise I did of a flirty finger-walk, 12,5 fps:
