Question:How can I get my ankles really strong so I can do a one foot relievey (I can't spell) in my pointe shoes?

thats what you do: one foot releves (?).. you can press on the bar! and soon you will get stronger and stronger and you won't need the bar!

If you can't even releve en pointe, you shouldn't be in pointe shoes because your ankles are NOWHERE near strong enough. You might want to talk to your teacher about why she thought you were ready for pointe....

Ask your teacher to help you. Keep practicing on your pointe work too.
