Physical activity (PA) participation is important for children born extremely preterm or extremely low birthweight as it provides opportunities to improve motor skills and cardiovascular fitness; however there is little evidence on interventions promoting PA participation for this group, particularly at preschool age. This study aims to explore the acceptability, a critical component of intervention feasibility, of a novel dance participation intervention. Semi-structured interviews explored the acceptability of Dance PREEMIE, a Dance PaRticipation intervention for Extremely prEterm children with Motor Impairment at prEschool age (trial registration ACTRN12619001266156), from the perspectives of dance teachers delivering the intervention (n = 6), and parents of participating children (n = 6). Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Five themes were developed: 1) placing the child center-stage: a shared motivation to promote child wellbeing and development; 2) Dance PREEMIE as a catalyst for participation; 3) child development takes time, practice and exposure; 4) the value of being informed; and 5) dance teachers as architects of the learning environment. Dance PREEMIE was acceptable to both parents of participating children and dance teachers. Findings from this study may inform future interventions aiming to improve PA participation for children with motor impairment at preschool age.
