Hill studied at the Rambert Dance Company which she joined in 1944 at the age of 15 where she went on to become a soloist and a principal dancer.
Sir Peter Wright described Hill as "a superb artist who joined the company from Rambert, but who did not really fit into the required Royal Ballet mould".
[1] Hill appeared in Kenneth MacMillan's first choreographed work, Somnabulism in 1953, alongside Maryon Lane.
[1] Wright and The Guardian note that Hill was his first muse, but that Lynn Seymour was to supplant her in his affections and become more enduring and famous.
She later married fellow ballet dancer Michael Boulton (who was in the original cast for Solitaire) in 1959, with whom she has a son and a daughter.
