i browsed through your websites to discover you are into kathak dance
and also learning software-programming.
therefore, may i recommend a software, which is muft-and-mukt, that is
under the GPL,
which is used for dance-choregraphy and animation:

gepetto
http://laurent.riesterer.free.fr/gepetto

the above software works, though has been lying dormant in its further
development for some years.
you could perhaps consider adopting it, and maybe also contribute to
its evolution.

the steep-learning curve of blender3d should not deter you, i hope.
this is a 3d model, animation, rendering software.
pradeepto usually chimes in with a suggestion for K-3D, but i find it
a bit buggy (okay okay, will check out the latest version... ;-) )

pencil is another software that allows for hand-drawn animation using
both vectors and bitmaps.

then there's 'stopmotion' that allows you to create stop-motion video
using images grabbed from a video device.

synfig.org has a vector-animation software handling upto film quality,
without the use of 'tweening'. check out the demo videos on the site.

pradeepto would recommend Ktoons,


then there are the core apps for graphics:
inskcape for vector images, gimp for pixels, scribus for dtp, kino for
basic video-editing.

in case you need recommendations for authoring audio, sound-editing,
and music, let me know, will recommend the more popular ones.

finally, do consider publishing some kathak beginner lessons using a
creativecommons.org license, on web-video sites such as blip.tv or
others.
