Here is the third pass of my animated scene. Here I have taken my blocking and began smoothing out the motion in the graph editor and adjusting timing and whatever needs to be done in order to get the performance as I want it. I went through a few passes of this for different parts of the body and to create "smear" frames where I thought they could work well.

"Smearing" is an animation term for essentially stretching the character into an impossible shape, popularly used for Warner Bros. cartoons. It creates both the illusion of motion blur, and enhances the feeling of the action.
