dance strengthening exercises for ankles?

I'm a nineteen year old dancer who will be re-starting ballet/beginners pointe classes in the fall. I took a ballet class from age 5 to 11. I haven't taken a class since then, but I have practiced the steps and movements on my own. Two years ago, however, I sprained an ankle, and it was in a walking boot for about eight weeks. It is still not as strong as my other ankle. Can anyone, preferably a dancer, recommend any exercises to strengthen my weak ankle? And any other advice for someone who will be learning how to dance pointe would be most appreciated too! Thanks!
