Window Dance is an event in the VFX tab that minimizes the Window and sets the resolution to 2x when the level is entered / played. When the Window Movement setting is set to Simulate. It instead generates a window in a fake desktop.
Usage
This window can move in many different ways. Within Act 5, the window can also resize vertically and horizontally.

Advanced
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.

History
According to the type there was an old window dance which was most likely used in developement.
Trivia
Window Dance isn't that flexible because you cannot modify the scale of the window, most likely because of issues in other operating systems (Mac/Linux).
A lot of creators instead use fake window dance, which uses 1 room for the window border and 1 room for stuff happening inside of the window.
The Window Dance event has a room setting visible, even if it doesn't do anything.
