storyboard

I wish to stop using the DispatcherTimer to show animations as that is extremely unpredictable. Instead, I want to start using a Storyboard as that is apparently the best and efficient way to animate controls.

I have tried searching for Tutorials but have not, unfortunately, stumbled on one yet.

Can anyone please advice me where I can begin? For example, "moving an image across the screen" and then "moving many images at the same time whilst rotating them".

Any help is highly appreciated.
