Today we’d like to introduce you to Sylvia Mannova.
Hi Sylvia, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I came from Slovakia. My dance journey started when I was five years old. I started with ballet, gymnastics. Later it was ballroom dancing for seven years. When I was 15, I decided to try my luck in acting. Studied acting for five years at state art conservatory. But somehow, I still felt need to dance.
So while I was in school, I started taking hiphop classes at nighttime. That was the only time I was available to dance because the school was ending everyday at 8pm. After a couple of months of training, I got picked to perform for events. And since then I was performing all over the Europe and Asia. We traveled with my group for years. It was amazing. I have done a lot of Tv shows as well. Like X factor, The Voice, Dancing with the stars. After years I felt like I reached what I wanted in my country so I made a decision. I moved to LA. It was a big step for me. I pretty much had to start from the beginning. But I loved it. I was taking a lot of classes. After like six months, I got signed to an agency and I started working. Also developed my dance style. Commercial heels. So far, I have credit like – Tyga, Lil Wayne, Roddy Ricch, French Montana. I am also a teacher and choreographer. I’ve choreographer a lot of music videos. I am also currently teaching heels classes in LA Privetes as well. I am very grateful I can share my art with my students every week.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I moved across the world so it wasn’t easy to start over. Everything was new. I Didn’t have friends or job. So this was the hard part for me. I lived in a sharehouse for a while and I didn’t have a car. So life wasn’t easy at the beginning at all, haha.
