      <image:title>Welcome - Community centered.</image:title>
      <image:caption>For over forty years, The Rye Arts Center has been the home of exceptional ballet training in Rye. In 1978, “The Ballet Class” first held classes in what is currently the gallery space. Today, we hold classes in a sun-filled studio on the ground floor that features a sprung dance floor, permanent oak ballet barres, and floor-to-ceiling mirrors.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Welcome - Breathtaking beauty.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Chapel is a nineteenth-century stone church, with vaulted ceilings and soaring stained glass windows that bathe our studios in warm colors in the late afternoon. In 2019, Rye Ballet Conservatory renovated a portion of this historic building into a state-of-the-art ballet facility. Featuring two dance studios, a grand piano, and a student lounge, The Chapel embodies the beauty of ballet and welcomes those who aspire to make their dreams a reality.</image:caption>
