1- Download the blank animation, which already has the frames lined up for you or download this if you can't do that.

2- Open up photoshop or other program. You can even do this in MS Paint.

3- Work with the first frame and get it to look however you want. Then copy the head and paste it over the rest and just fill in the bodies.

4- Once you are done making all of the frames you need to copy them and flip them horizontally. Otherwise the dance is only going to be one sided. Give each frame its own layer. Also crop away all the green outline and it will be the right size 50x50.

*MS Paint users will have to take each frame and give it its own file. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SAVE EACH FRAME AS A PNG else it will be fuzzy.

5- If you have Photoshop elements 6 or higher you can animate these quite easily. You have to go to file, Save for Web. Change the file to a .GIF. check animate and change your frame rate to 0.1 FPS at the bottom of the window.

*If you do not have photoshop you can still animate it. Go to You must login or register to view this content.. Upload the first frame. After that look at the 3rd column at the top it says Animate. Click frame animation and upload the remaining Frames. Set the Frame speed to 1/10 second and you should have it working. Save it to your computer and your done.
