@stace855 - There's a slight difference. In the plie, the upper body is more upright - more perpendicular to the floor than the sumo squat. Both are similar. Hope this helps.
ballet question: on my developpes my quad is always cramping, will this exercise help me strengthen the muscle i am supposed to be using, or will it strengthen my quads?
@mashedpotatoes97 you should get a roller and work your IT band which is what is causing the cramping. It could also be because you are using your quads more than your inner thighs (which is what I do) if you do these exercises and do the IT band roller you'll be set!
This exercise is for your inner thighs. You can do this exercise every other day. For an example, Monday workout your upper body, and Tuesday do this exercise along with other leg exercises
@brunamore Normally it's 15-20 reps 3 x a week. However if you're doing this along with other leg workouts in a day, you may want to cut that down to 2 or once a week because legs tend to take longer to recover. It does help in strengthening your leg muscles.

I do these exercises already. 20 reps, 3 sets. Daily.
And they really DO work wonders. I lost half an inch from my thigh within 20 days!
