I need ballet tips!!!!?

So, I haven't taken ballet in about three years and want to start again in the Autumn. I really need to get my flexibility and strength back. I also need to prepare for pointe because I had an evaluation about two weeks ago and the teacher said I needed more strenth in my ankles than I would be ready. Does any one have sugestions for stretches, strength excerscises and other ballet related things. (Stretches can inclube a ballet barre, I have one)

I'm a ballet dancer, too. here are some stretches for strength and flexibility:

Flexibility: - Find an open area of wall. Lay down on your

back and put your butt up against the wall. Put

your legs in a straddle and hold it for 3-5 minutes.

- Put the soles of your feet together while sitting on

the ground and bend forward.

- Lay down on your stomach and put the soles of

your feet together. Hold for about 2-3 minutes.

Strength: - Lay on your back and put your hands behind your

head. Use your stomach to lift sit halfway up. Do

this repeatedly to the beat of a fairly fast song.

- Put your feet under a low couch or have them held

by a friend. Lay on your stomach and put your

arms in fifth. Use your back to lift yourself off the
