Advanced usage of an event would be classified as how people used this event to the fullest by breaking it or using an event combination. (e.g. Negabloom, Hom + Hue Shift etc..)
Usually people don't use window dance, but instead recreate it because of the restrictions that you cannot do on the event. For example you can scale the window or angle it.
