Her colorful and deep voice is perfect for jazz and the Blues. She has studied with jazz legend, Elly Wright, and enjoys performing with her especially for charity and cultural events. She has also performed with Italian rock legend Zucchero and often performs with coach, composer and cabaret artist Jenny Simanowitz.

At her performance on this year’s Rainbow Ball she will be accompanied by pianist Nikos Pogonatos.

BERNARD BACH
Regenbogen-Ballkomitee

From non-dancer to master of ceremonies: Bernard Bach (born 1979) started his dance career in 1998, in the dance school Mühlsiegel. However, only in 2004 was he introduced to the dance school Stanek and the Viennese Rainbow Ball. From then on he opened as a dancer in the committee and slowly but steadily, as well as under the guidance of Wolfgang Stanek, worked his way up to becoming his assistant. Since then he has acted as the “good soul” and support in dance rehearsals and as a choreographer. In 2013 he achieved his goal and became a dance master. Now he stepped into his old teachers shoes and leads the dance committee and organises the opening of the Rainbow Ball 2018.

LES SCHUH SCHUH
The LGBT dance group was founded in 2001 and has had roaring success after its performance at the EuroPride. Since 2002 the group’s regular performance has been an acclaimed part of the Rainbow Ball’s opening. Les Schuh Schuh twists conventional role models by changing who leads, switching partners and doing some cross-dressing, and thereby ironises and questions these role models. Their repertoire includes historical dances (such as the gavotte) as well as modern ones.

CHOSN AKA DJ L. ROCK
Johannes Willrader has been DJ out of passion since the mid 1990ies. He is known under his artist names CHOSN and DJ L. Rock and with his individual music mix at hip and exclusive events he causes furore and the best atmosphere all over Europe’s dance floors – amongst those for many years again and again the Solid Gold Disco of the Rainbow Ball.

DJane Kamikace is the master mind behind PiNKED, which was founded in 2000, and created well-known events like Las Chicas and G-Mix. Since 2006 she operates the turn-tables and she is booked not only in Vienna, but all over Europe.

As a duo they contemplate each other perfectly and they worked together at other events. At the ball they will heat up the vibe at Gloriette-Bar.
