The Ballet Dancer

Ballet stretching and strengthening workout?

Could you please give me a structured stretching and strengthening workout to do at home on the floor or at the barre. I really need something that will be specifically relevant for improving my ballet and also exercises that will stretch and strengthen every part of my body-legs,feet,back etc.
Thanks so much.
