Arms: optional
My proposal is to move arms only on Flamenco¹ steps which include:
– Flamenco tap dance steps :
The dancer could simulate "adornos": an adorno (a word used in corridas²) is the way to wave a virtual torero's cape the dancer is handling;
– Other dance steps adapted to Flamenco style.
Just imitate the gestures of toreros³.
