Tabish began dedicating his life to Latin Ballroom and Latin social dances at the early age of 15. He studied under and continues to train with some of the finest in Latin Ballroom including Anna Kovalova, Eugene Katsevman, Shirley Ballas, Louis Van Amstel, Shorena Chertkove and others. Competing around the country in Cha-Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive, Tabish is fluent in the language and movement of Latin dance. Latin social dancing continues to bring joy to Tabish’s everyday life. Skilled and knowledgable in social dances such as Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Zouk, and Argentine Tango, he has a passion for teaching and brings a love of social dance to the community. In 2020, Tabish was the recipient of the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts, the highest award for arts in Idaho. Tabish is married to the love of his life and partner, Lori Ebinger.
Lori Ebinger has been dancing since she was 3 years old. Her first love was ballet, which she practiced intensely until her early 20’s. She took a break from dancing to study Cellular and Molecular Biology and begin her Master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies, but felt that something was missing from her life. Lori renewed her passion for dancing through Latin dance styles while in PA school and has been training with ferocity ever since. Now, as well as practicing medicine full time, she partners and competes all over the country with her best friend/ husband, Tabish.
