Sylva Tománková is a Czech dancer and actress born in 1974 in Brno. Straight after her school-leaving exams she landed the lead female role of Alena Prokopová - nicknamed Bejbina - in the musical comedy Šakalí léta (1993), director Jan Hřebejk's debut film, largely on the strength of her dancing. Further film roles never materialised, and she went on to build a career as a professional dancer and choreographer, working with Brno's Taneční divadlo MAXIMVS and the Bratislava dance theatre, and guesting in musicals at Městské divadlo Brno.
