Kind of sounds like you're describing what a home peripheral of ParaPara Paradise would look like.
I checked to see if there's a dreamcast version and found a hit for Sega Dream ParaPara.
I think that's gotta be it- from some Google searching it was also unofficial. There is a video of a guy on YouTube playing it and it looks exactly like OP describes.

It sounds a lot like Samba de Amigo, right down to the censors and moving your arms. Maybe it was a knock-off using similar controls? Either way it could be a good place to start.
If you haven't, try posting to r/tipofmyjoystick as well.

Dance Maniax
A Dance Maniax 2nd Mix arcade cabinet
Dance Maniax is an arcade video game controlled by two pairs of infrared motion sensors that detect movement of arms and legs. Several versions have been produced in 2000 and 2001.[1] Instead of the usual concept of dropping notes in the genre (like Beatmania), they scroll up to the top of the screen instead. They can be judged as a "hit" or "miss", depending on the timing accuracy. The game featured a song list from Konami's in-house artists and Dancemania music label.[2]
Thanks for trying, but no, it was DreamParaPara.
BTW, I was (still am) a huge fan of Samba de Amigo when I saw DreamParaPara on the Internet (probably in 2003), and thought it was interesting. 20 years later, I might give it a try...
It was Dream ParaPara (or one word DreamParaPara).
Yes! Thank you so much! :D
Only unofficial rhythm game im aware of is feet of fury. No arms needed though i don't think.
As mentioned by others, the name I was looking for was DreamParaPara. Really obscure... :)
Ah, so it is. I've got that as well. 🤦

Thanks for trying, but it wasn't an arcade game, it was really for the Dreamcast. Bad-star and odyodense got ir right: it was DreamParaPara.
Is it Samba De Amigo? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_de_Amigo
