What is the difference between a principle dancer and and soloist in ballet?
The Corps de Ballet is the backbone of a ballet company and performs in all the large group sections of a ballet. The female Corps de Ballet in many classical ballets must be very well rehearsed so they can maintain symmetrical lines and perform in perfect unison. A dancer who excels in the Corps de Ballet may be promoted to a Second Soloist and be asked to perform smaller group dances and some solo roles. Demonstrating their talent and strength as a Second Soloist, can lead a dancer to being promoted to First/Principal Soloist. As a Principal Soloists, dancers are given more solo roles to perform and are groomed for principal roles. When a dancer has reached a certain level of technical ability and artistic maturity, they are promoted to Principal Dancer, the highest ranking of dancer. Principal Dancers perform starring roles in a company's repertoire.

Are jazz pirouttes the same as ballet pirouttes?
Yes! :) pirouettes are actually a part of ballet not exactly jazz. Jazz has them in a sense of the basic term. Ballet pirouettes are a tad different because they are performed in "positions" such as second, fourth, and fifth. Hope this helped!
