I'm returning to dancing after an injury. I broke my ankle sprained it and tore muscle. And I need to get back to where I was before my injury. Thank you!

you've gotten some excellent suggestions. I would only caution you not to rush things. Stamina takes time to build, by it's nature it isn't something you gain "quickly" or "easily".

when i hyper extended my knee, i went to physical therapy. that might help a bit. also, to strengthen my ankles for hockey, i would take a grocery bag, fill it with canned foods (still in the can... haha), put it on my foot, and do ankle lifts/rolls or w/e. it helped. but... if you do that, start with like... not that many cans or you could do even more damage depending on how healed it is.
try riding on a stationary bike. it doesnt have as much impact on your ankle as running. elipticals are also pretty fun and not as harsh as running. swimming could be an option too (an option i never used... i cant swim lol)

Any type of cardio would help build stamina, but I prefer swimming.
