What is the difference between freestyle and freeflying?

Freestyle is more like aerial ballet, freeflying is more of a total freedom of movement on all axis's head up, head down, sit, flat, tracking all in one.....total freedom!!!

I think of Freestyle as Freeflying with Grace.

I agree with Paula. I'm interested in Freestyle once I get my A license. Dancing & freestyle seem to go hand in hand...not that I'm an expert by no means...just reading up on it

Well no one gave you serious answer so here you go..
"freestyle" is a solo competition discipline that is about executing specific poses and moves.
"freeflying" is now a competition discipline but that evolved later. As competition it typically involves a duo plus camera. But I expect in the future, we will begin to see 2way, 4way, 6way freefly teams just as in Formation Skydiving today.
It has a couple of definitions, here's a couple
VRW - vertial relative work - flying relative to others in vertical orientations. In essence this is what a freestyle or skysurfer's camera person is doing - although it may not be strictly vertical.
freeflying is being able to fly in any direction at any speed in any body orientation.
it's anything you want to do in the air.

Freestyle is typically done by yourself, sometimes with a partner and generally involves more spins and less head down moves. The speed is typically quite a bit slower than what we would call "freeflying" too. Ugly lesbians with guys names (Dale, for instance) really like freestyle. Watch the movie "Travelling 2" and see Mike Michigan ripping it up while not looking foofy at all for an example of someone who is cool who does it.
Freeflying is purported to be the flying of ones body on any axis with ease, but get in a group of more than two people and go to a side spin and see what happens: cork. So, mostly what you call freeflying is just sitting, head down, spins around the head-toe axis, and vertical flips/transitions. I deliniate the two types by their airspeed. If it's slow enough that the vidiot is on his belly most of the time, wearing his camera suit, and has his camera on top of his head, then it's freestyle. If the vidiot (more likely everyone with the cash to buy a camera) has his on the side of his head and he is wearing a freefly suit, then it's freeflying.
