Timing & Timingto the Beat

There are 24 frames per second. The more fluid you want your movement, the more inbetweens you'll create.

Ones: 

If you create 24 drawings per second, that means you are animating in ones. This is the most fluid movement and is indicative of Disney style animation.

Twos:  

12 drawings per second. 

Threes: 

8 drawings per second

Fours:

4 drawings per second

An advantage of the dance party assignment, is that most dances are a looping motions. Depending on the pace of your music and the style of dance your character makes, you may only need 1-2 seconds of drawings that you can then loop. Make sure that it loops cleanly. This is an opportunity to have a very fluid animation without completely overworking yourself.
