The easiest way to reuse a function without instantiating a new class

Question

I currently have a function that looks like this:

public void AnimateLayoutTransform(object ControlToAnimate)
{
//Does some stuff
}

I use this feature in many different projects, so I want it to be very reusable. So now I have it in a .cs file enclosed in a namespace and class:

namespace LayoutTransformAnimation
{
    public class LayoutAnims
    {
        public void AnimateLayoutTransform(object ControlToAnimate)
        {
            //Do stuff
        }
    }
}

The problem is that to use this single function in this project I need to do something like

new LayoutTransformAnimation.LayoutAnims().AnimateLayoutTransform(mygrid);

Which just seems like a lot of work to reuse one function. Is there a way to at least use a function without creating a new instance of the class? Just as we can Double.Parse()not create a new one double?
