Who is MoCo Arts?

MoCo Arts is a 30+ year old nonprofit arts education organization offering classes in dance and theatre for students ages 6 months through 18+ years and multi-arts vacation, summer, and one-day camps for kids ages 4 through grade 12. MoCo’s mission is to Transforming Lives Through Movement and Creative Expression.

What does MoCo mean?

Opening in 1991 as The Moving Company Dance Center, students were referring to The Moving Company as MoCo for short. As MoCo grew and expanded our class offerings beyond just dance, we decided to change our name to MoCo Arts to umbrella all our arts programs. Although we go by MoCo Arts now, MoCo does business under The Moving Dance Company Center name.

MoCo Arts is located in the heart of downtown Keene, New Hampshire at 40 Roxbury Street, Keene, NH 03431.

How do I know if classes are canceled due to weather?

In the case of inclement weather, MoCo Arts will announce by 7:00 a.m. the status of morning classes and by 1:00 p.m. the status of afternoon/evening classes. Cancellation of area schools does NOT mean classes are canceled. If classes are canceled, it will be on MoCo Arts answering machine (603-357-2100), website moco.org/parents-page, MoCo’s Facebook page, and on radio stations WKNE, WINQ, and WKBK as well as the WKNE website. Cancellation emails are sent out to the email listed on the student registration form, and optional text alerts are available by signing up on the student registration form. We do NOT contact students individually when canceling for inclement weather. We ask that you exercise judgment when making decisions to attend classes in stormy weather.
