My daughter graduated from High School and for graduation party, I decided to decorate her party in everything ballet, because she danced ballet for many years, and in High School she was in a pre-professional program, so she spent a lot of her time in her ballet studio.
We kept most of her pointe shoes, and I was wondering how can I use them to decorate the party, so I came up with some creative ideas on how to incorporate the "Ballet theme" with her academic accomplishments in a cute but not so childish way.
I used the pointe shoes as balloon weights and also hanged some banners with the pointe shoe ribbons.

For the cookies, I did not make any ballet cookies, I focus more on the University she was going to attend and make a cute Rice University Cookies set. Obviously I made Sammy, the Owl mascot, the letter "R", the unconventional wisdom slogan, the name if the University and some graduate girl cookies.

I hope these ideas will inspire you on how you can incorporate an extracurricular activity like ballet to a High School Graduation party.

I think it is a good way on how you can display some things that you have kept and use them as ballet party decor.
