Among these, tele-dance interventions (TDI) emerged as accessible and scalable models of care; however, a comprehensive synthesis of the evidence supporting these interventions remains limited. This scoping review maps existing literature on the feasibility, acceptability, and health-related outcomes of TDI across diverse populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Guided by Arksey and O\u2019Malley\u2019s framework and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, we conducted a systematic search of 6 electronic databases and identified 26 eligible studies employing quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods designs. Methodological quality was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. All interventions were delivered synchronously via videoconferencing platforms and were primarily adapted from established in-person dance programs, typically incorporating warm-up activities, structured or improvisational movement, and cool-down phases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Across studies, TDI were consistently feasible and well accepted among older adults, individuals with neurological conditions, and people living with chronic illness. Psychosocial benefits, including enhanced social connection, improved mood, and reduced loneliness, were commonly reported. Physical outcomes such as improvements in balance, gait, and strength were also observed, suggesting potential functional benefits relevant to rehabilitation and health promotion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TDI offer important advantages, including increased accessibility, flexible delivery formats, and scalability beyond in-person care. However, limitations include methodological heterogeneity, small sample sizes, underrepresentation of diverse populations, and limited long-term follow-up. Overall, TDI represent a promising telehealth modality, warranting future research emphasizing methodological rigor, inclusive design, hybrid delivery models, and implementation-focused evaluations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15305627261427355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,14]],"date-time":"2026-03-14T12:07:32Z","timestamp":1773490052000},"page":"547-565","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tele-Dance Interventions for Health Outcomes: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0277-6497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Minjung","family":"Shim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Creative Arts Therapies, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5052-7252","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah G.","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mathematics Library, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Drew","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Creative Arts Therapies, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Uhler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Creative Arts Therapies, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9965-8288","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clarissa","family":"Lacson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Creative Arts Therapies, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17482631.2021.1950891"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17482631.2020.1732526"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_1","unstructured":"3.American Dance Therapy Association.
