The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the use of remote physical activities and videoconference platforms. These changes could affect inclusion for children with motor disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of an inclusive teledance program with pedagogical objectives for children with and without motor disorders. Twelve children aged 9 to 15 years (six with motor disorders and six without) participated in the program focused on learning basic dance knowledge and creating a choreography (ten classes; one hour twice/week over five weeks). Program’s feasibility was evaluated using acceptability (satisfaction and engagement questionnaires), adaptation and implementation (teachers’ notes and focus groups) criteria. Statistical analyses were conducted for quantitative data, while content, inductive and cross-case analyses were performed for qualitative data. Children reported high satisfaction and engagement levels. Adaptations planned by the teachers to ensure the program was inclusive and tailored to the constraints of a remote context are presented and discussed. Regarding the implementation criteria, high participation and retention rates were observed. Negative and positive factors affecting program implementation were examined under major themes (teledance, educational dance and inclusive dance). Overall, the results confirmed the feasibility of implementing an inclusive teledance program with both children with and without motor disorders
