Looks pretty smooth! If you do want to get into animating, I can give some tips!
Marax looks like he lost a bet or something XD
"I hate you all for this."

Alrighty! It's really hard to put these tips into words, but I'll try! You might've heard of them already tho XD
I'd recommend looking into each term more, since I was and probably still am terrible at animating myself lol
Usually, when a character makes a movement, you want it to come out smooth, right? That's done through easing, which is basically starting a movement out slow then gradually speeding up and slowing down at the end again. Take a single dot for example: draw one to one side of the screen, and gradually make the spacing (the space between the dot's last frame position and current frame position) increase. Then, slowly decrease the spacing to make it seem like it's slowing down. However, I've found that when people make faster movements, the spacing increases a lot faster and make the decrease in spacing a lot less obvious when going frame by frame. This is especially important when your character is continuing into another movement, where they won't really stop. Be careful not to "overease," which is something that discouraged me a ton and which is why I don't really try to animate anymore lol. Overeasing is basically where the movement's slowdown portion is really obvious and makes the movement look robotic.
Secondly is flow, which is a definition I'm still really not sure of. The way I've heard it, a lot of people achieve flow by making every part of a character move, even if ever so slightly, since people's limbs don't really stop when they move other parts of their body. Continuing off of what I said above, another definition I've heard of flow is chaining movements together correctly. Say we're back to animating that dot and we want it to reverse directions. Instead of making it stop, make the slowdown portion of the movement fast and try not to decrease the spacing too much before animating it coming back.
All in all, it should look kinda like this. Pretend each "l" is the dot, and each "-" is the spacing between frames.
When the dot goes to the initial direction:
l-l---l-----l---l
When the dot comes back the other way, starting from the last l:
l---l-----l--l-l
And that's basically all I remember! Try it out, since it's been a while since I tried to improve and I never really became good at these techniques in the first place. These seemed to work recently in Flipnote Studio 3D in my experience, though! Also, frame rate's important. Pivot, the program I used to use, usually looked the best at 30 fps or at least around there. Experiment!

I shoulda mentioned I did do 3D animation at college before, sooo I do know most of these tips xD
With the first one, easing, I remember our teacher usingaΒ baseball picther as an example. There's the pull back, the wind up, then the pitch~
Even for this animation I cut two frames out to add the little flick of the hips~
My problem is I only have Photoshop Elements as my animation tool. And it's Not really good for this sorta stuff xD
I also know about the overeasing cos I did that with all my animations I was BAD
Truthully tho I need to look into flow o: can't remember it much.

This is really nicely done Sol :3 It's a bit choppy at a couple spots but overall impressive work

I think I know what needs to be done to smooth it out, tho my program doesn't allow me to do much.
Thanks tho
