GUEST INSTRUCTOR · FESTIVAL 2026
Thomas & Vanessa Bachmann
The name Bachmann is well known in the West Coast Swing scene far beyond Germany. Thomas and Vanessa travel internationally, compete successfully as All-Stars and teach West Coast Swing at every level.
Thomas has always been an enthusiastic swing dancer. He also teaches other swing dances such as Boogie, Lindy Hop and Balboa and has competed successfully in those styles internationally. His understanding of a wide range of swing dances makes his West Coast Swing teaching truly unique.
Vanessa started out with hip hop and found her way to West Coast Swing via Zouk and Forró. She quickly became successful as a dancer and discovered her passion for teaching and coaching. With her fine instinct for each individual dancer, she is the perfect complement to Thomas.
