Here is what we will be making:

Supplies needed:
Paint Shop Pro (any version should work for this)
Animation Shop
Danceman Font here
A font of your choice
A tube of your choice (optional)

Open a new image 400 x 400 transparent.

Flood fill layer 1 with white. Add your watermark to this layer.

Add a layer, set your text to Danceman, floating, antialias checked, stroke 1 and size 130.
Type the letter A and position the text near the middle of your canvas. Deselect your text.

Add another layer and type the letter C. Now, line this one up as close as you can with the head.
Deselect your text.

Add another layer and type the letter E, again lining the head up. Deselect your text.

Add one more layer and type the letter K again lining the head up.

This won't be perfect but that's ok; it adds to the dancing effect we're after ;)
Deselect your text.

Rename each of your layers background, 1,2,3,4.

New raster layer, name it text. Type in your name or any text you'd like.
Use whatever fill and stroke you'd like. I used a gradient fill.

Add any effects to it you'd like, deselect, then move it to where you'd like it
and duplicate your text layer 3 times for a total of 4 text layers.

Now crop your tag being sure not to cut off any of your dancers!

Hide all but your original background layer, layer named 1 and your 1st text layer.

Open Animation Shop.

Tick your Animation Wizard and use 20 as your speed, then add your saved images in order that you saved
them (1,2 3, 4).

Keep clicking next and view your animation. If you're happy with it, save as a .gif file. If you think your dancer is too fast, just reset the speed to a higher number.
