I have Spacemacs installed with Evil-mode enabled. Sometimes when someone who is used to Emacs is using my Spacemacs I want to disable the Vim keybindings and have regular Emacs bindings.

Is it possible to toggle (enable or disable) the Vim keybindings in Spacemacs?

You can toggle Evil-mode with CTRL-Z which is bound to evil-emacs-state.

Set dotspacemacs-editing-style variable in the dotfile to 'emacs and reload the dotfile, I think its SPC f e R by default. When you want your Vim keybindings back, change the variable to 'vim and reload it again.

Thanks. I think CTRL-Z it changing the editing style as well. SPC f e R is bound to sync-configuration-layers.
Yes, CTRL-Z does it for the buffer you are in. If that's what you need - to give another person the ability to edit the current buffer without switching buffers, using dired etc. - then CTRL-Z is exactly what you need. If on the other hand you want to temporarily switch off Vim keybindings for the entire emacs session, then consider my suggestion.
