I highly recommend if you are thinking about taking dance lessons for your wedding. Do not hesitate and Do It!! Tamas was amazing in helping us figure out dance moves for our first dance. We did not pick an easy song ("Summertime Magic by Childish Gambino") and we took 3 dance lessons with Tamas. We waited almost a month before our wedding to take these lessons but with a lot of practice at home. We nailed it lol Thank you so much Tamas read more

We had such a good time that we're going to come back for more lessons. read more

We took salsa lessons with Tamas at Sway with Me Dance in the weeks leading up to our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made. The classes were a highlight of that hectic month. Tomas is a fantastic teacher--patient, fun, and great at making both of us feel comfortable and confident. What we loved most was that the lessons gave us a chance to slow down, reconnect, and share something intimate together amid all the wedding planning stress. We highly recommend Tomas to anyone looking to learn salsa or just wanting a meaningful activity to share with their partner. read more

As someone who always had issues learning choreography, when my fiancé suggested a choreographed routine for our first dance, I was nervous. That all stopped when we met with Tamas, who made things so easy. Each class he would teach us a few steps, and he made it easy to learn! After we performed the dance at our wedding, our guests told us how much they loved our routine. Tears were shed. Thank you Tamas! Erica and Ryan read more

Tamas is amazing! My partner and I took our first class through a Groupon dance lesson and after the first lesson, we decided to sign up for more. Our wedding was August 9, 2024 and we wanted a choreographed slow dance for our first song. Tamas was so welcoming and professional. We were worried that the song we chose would be too slow for a dance but Tamas worked his magic and curated a beautiful dance for our special night. We will always remember our dance lessons the few weeks before our wedding and how excited we were to dance infront of our friends and family. Thanks Tamas !! read more

My wife and I were very nervous about our first dance. We wanted something elegant yet simple. Tamas was more than helpful every step of the way. Not only is Tamas kind but he's also gentle and patient no matter what. We decided to go with six 1-hour lessons and after our initial consultation we knew we didn't need to go looking for anyone else. My wife is not very confident on the dance floor with choreography but Tamas made us feel confident in ourselves. He also made us feel comfortable in taking on something that seemed so large in our head. We are very grateful for Tamas and his help in making our magical day even more memorable. read more

I would give Tamas 10 stars if I could! My husband and I loved working with Tamas in preparation for our first dance. We had 5 total sessions with Tamas and loved every minute of them. Tamas was kind and fun! He explained things in an easy way and tailored our dance to what worked for our venue and my outfit. Dance lessons were a great way to bond during the chaos of wedding planning. We are so grateful to Tamas! read more

My wife and I did 4-5 lessons with Tamas Kardos for our wedding dance, and it was both super fun and extremely informative! Tamas is amazing, he made the entire experience so much fun for both of us and even though we both had 0 dance experience and were pretty nervous about the whole thing Tamas was able to turn us into basically professional dancers in 4-5 lessons. I was truly shocked by how easy everything was and that is due to Tamas's fantastic guidance. He was extremely patient with us and crafted a unique and original dance that perfectly reflected what we wanted. And it went perfect on the actual day. Thank you so much Tamas and Sway With Me! We are definitely coming back for lessons just for fun in the future. read more

Tamas helped me and my husband choreograph our first dance for our wedding. Tamas was very patient with us as we slowly learned the steps! We went into the dance nervous, but felt so comfortable thanks to Tamas. Everyone said our dance was beautiful and so smooth!! read more

My wife and I got married last month on father's day. We knew we wanted to learn a dance together (because we are not great dancers) and surprise everyone at our wedding with a choreographed dance to a song we chose that means a lot to us. After an initial consultation with Tamas, we knew we had come to the right place. We did a 4-session course over the span of a couple of months leading up to our wedding and as we had hoped, we wow-ed everyone with our dance. Tamas is such a wonderful and incredibly experienced dance instructor. He is worth EVERY PENNY. He took a lump of clay and shaped it into a beautiful work of art. Tamas clearly has the ability to teach even the most inexperienced dancers, and makes the entire process fun, and something to look forward to. He is so friendly and easy to work with, and has a very effective way of helping you to learn new dances and moves. THANK YOU Tamas, and Sway With Me Dance for giving my wife and I that little extra something special to make our wedding that much more memorable. We can't wait to come work with you again and learn something new. I recommend Tamas to anyone and everyone who wants to take dance lessons of any kind for any occasion. read more

Tomas was such an exceptional dance teacher. I've never done any kind of dance before in my life, and after a few lessons we had mastered a beautiful first dance wedding waltz. Tamas was a pleasure to work with and he truly played a large role in making our wedding day even more special. read more

We absolutely LOVED our dance lessons with Tamas for our Wedding. We had never done something like taking dance lessons together and Tamas made us feel great from the start. He was warm, patient, engaging and confident. And creative! We came to him with our song ("Your Song" from Moulin Rogue) and he choreographed a beautiful (and not too complicated) dance for us to dazzle our guests with at our reception. I'm so sad our lessons are over! Seeing Tamas every week was such a highlight. Perhaps we'll take up dance as a hobby together as newlyweds. I cannot recommend Tamas and SWMD enough!! read more

Tamas was amazing and professional. My wish was to dance a Tango for our first dance at my wedding. We took 10 hours of group lessons before and learn some basic Tango steps. But the group was very frustrating because the previous teacher didn't take time for us. And I wasn't happy with that teacher and the process I was making in group class. So I called Sway me away. Tamas was great on the phone. He invited us to a consultation in his studio in Sherman Oaks. At the consultation I taught we will be talking only about our song and vision only, but we went straight into dancing. He was very flexible and on time and help us also stay within our budget. I was very impress with Tamas at the first 5 minutes after we met. The class lessons were very effective and professional. Tamas gave us a whole tango Routine with beginning, middle and end, with the song of our choice. The only thing we needed to do is to go home and practice, practice, practice. I can whole heartedly recommend Tamas to any bride and groom who wants to sway Their guest off their feet at their wedding and perform a professional wedding dance. Sway me away, swayed not only us away but also our friends and family as they Witness our beautiful first dance together as husband and wife. I had a beautiful dream wedding! Watch our Tango dance here. https://youtu.be/n41j728EPrU read more

My wedding was in May 2023. With a busy schedule and only a couple of weeks to go, my husband and I were pressed for time. We've never had dance lessons before but bought a Groupon for the intro lesson. We were amazed at how clear, easy to understand, and professional Tamas was. We signed up for additional lessons to learn the rest of the dance. It was an amazing experience and many of our guests commented on what a great first couple dance we had. My mother-in-law was thrilled and we have so many wonderful photos. Whatever dance style you want to learn, I'm sure Tamas can work with you to choreograph the one of your dreams! read more

Tamas is one of a kind and choreographed my wedding First Dance. Good experience, he's patient and does a good job teaching dance, as well as explaining what we can expect at our wedding when presenting our dance. His lessons go about depending on your personal pace and how much you practice at home. My fiancé and I are first-time dance students, but with Tamas' help, we learned our First Dance within 3 weeks/3 lessons + 1 intro/new student lesson. Good vibes all around! read more

Wedding dance preparation with Tamas was absolutely wonderful. He is patient, thorough and really made the dance simple and easy to learn. It was a wonderful experience and we truly enjoyed our dance lessons. read more

We took six lessons with Tamas to prepare for our first dance, and the experience was fantastic! As complete beginners, we appreciated how thoughtful and attentive to detail he was throughout the process. Tamas made everything easy to understand and broke down each step in a way that was very helpful. These lessons were also such a fun date night for us, and we loved making memories along the way. Every time we hear our song now, we're filled with such great memories from the experience. Thanks to Tamas, our first dance was perfect, and we highly recommend him! read more

Tamas is an incredible instructor who truly has a passion for teaching and genuinely cares for his students. I have seen Tamas with other students, and I am amazed how he adapts his teaching to the needs of the student. An accomplished dancer himself, Tamas really makes any dance style approachable yet disciplined so that you build a strong foundation in the basics of each dance. He does this in a fun and motivating way that will have you in the dance floor with confidence in a short time. I have referred several friends, and all of them have converted into dance nerds like me! Highly recommend to anyone of all skill levels and backgrounds! read more

My wife and I hired Tamas to choreograph our first dance at our wedding and we was such a great teacher and choreographer. My wife and I are at different skill and experience levels as dancers and he did a great job of balancing things between the two of us. He was so patient and attentive and he did an amazing job coming up with our dance choreography. Our dance transitioned from a traditional ballroom style to an upbeat Bollywood-themed number and our guests were totally taken by surprise and blown away. Tamas, we can't thank you enough for creating such a special and memorable moment for our wedding! You are so awesome!!! read more

Tamas was an amazing instructor. He was kind, patient, and worked with us to create a really lovely dance for our wedding that was both exciting and just the right amount of challenging. We worked with him over 5 five weeks ahead of the wedding, and we loved every session! read more

My (now) husband and I cannot speak highly enough of Sway With Me and, specifically, Tamas. We both have busy work schedules and were not even sure we wanted to go through the trouble of learning a choreographed dance, but we are SO happy we did. Lessons were efficient, honestly very fun, and the photos/videos looked amazing. I'm so happy we got to work with Tamas, and I cannot recommended him and his lessons enough. He really works with you to execute your vision - I even got my husband to learn how to do a couple of lifts and dips during our first dance! 10/10, five-stars, absolutely would recommend. read more

My husband and I worked with Tamas to help us choreograph our wedding first dance. Over the course of four lessons, we were able to learn an entire 2.5 min routine to our favorite song. Tamas was so incredibly patient and helpful in teaching us all of the moves. Everyone at our wedding loved our dance! We would highly recommend Tamas! read more

Me and my husband decided we wanted a choreographed dance for our wedding, so as gays do we started taking dance lessons a year in advance. We met with our fabulous instructor Tamas several times in 2021, and then decided to take about 8 more classes the months leading up to our wedding in 2022. We mashed together two songs with a classic ballroom waltz which transitioned into salsa. We provided Tamas the mixed tracks and he was able to create a choreo for us that captured the emotions of both songs. He's a very good teacher for beginners, while also able to introduce some more complicated moves as you learn. We want to keep taking classes with him! We also set up a small group salsa lesson with him to get our guests excited! read more

Tamas was the best dance instructor my husband and I could have ever asked for! We looked forward to each of our lessons and the dance he choreographed for our wedding day was amazing. Our guests raved that our first dance was one of the biggest highlights of the wedding! read more

Tamas is amazing! We wanted to do something special for our first dance at our wedding, but both me and my now wife are not dancers in the least and have never taken lessons before. We found Sway With Me through a Groupon for introductory lessons and decided it would be worth giving it a shot, especially since it was conveniently located right across the street from us. I was a bit nervous because I have never danced before and am in my own opinion quite stiff. During our first lesson Tamas was super friendly, encouraging, patient, and detailed in his instruction. This made me feel much more relaxed and confident that this was something I could do. After the initial lesson, Tamas asked if we were interested in taking additional lessons in which he would teach us more steps as well as choreograph the entire dance from start to finish for us. We decided to do the 4-class package, which was very reasonably priced when compared to other dance studios in the area. We are so glad we did those additional classes! The steps Tamas taught us in our first lesson were great and you could probably get away with just using that as your first dance if you are looking for something simple, but the dance Tamas choreographed and taught us was amazing! The lifts and dips were definitely crowd pleasers and we got a lot of compliments after our wedding on our first dance. I can't wait to see the photos our photographer captured! I'm so thankful to Tamas for his patient and thoughtful instruction and for contributing to our big day in such a special way. I would definitely recommend Tamas and Sway With Me if you are looking to add that something special to your wedding day! read more

Dearest Tomas, patiently and gently taught my husband and I the most magical first dance we will remember forever. It was such a pleasure to learn this dance amidst the chaos of wedding planning. He brought us so much joy and laughter and he is TRULY talented and extremely kind. We recommend him to all brides and grooms, but actually, to everyone! read more

I danced with Tomas for about 2 years. I have never danced before and my husband wasn't interested in taking lessons with me. This was something I had always wanted to learn BUT I was terrified. I am a bit shy and introverted so this was outside of my comfort zone. From the minute I met Tomas he made things very comfortable. He was very patient--especially since I had never danced before. In fact, it was so much fun I went everyday. Tomas is an excellent dancer and instructor. I would HIGHLY recommend him for a beginner or advanced student. He left us in Jupiter, Florida for Los Angeles. I miss him and I miss dancing with him!! read more
