I'd like to start developing a dashboard using bootstrap.
For now I'm not concerned about design, so I'd like to just pick a theme randomly and start developing. However I'm concerned about locking myself into the chosen design.
Would it be possible to let end-users choose between different themes when the app is live. How dynamically can themes be switched using bootstrap?
Will I need to make an extra abstraction layer between the gauges and charts or do these UI elements in different themes have the same interface?

Not seamlessly interchangeable.
You need some basic HTML and CSS knowledge in order to be able to switch different themes.
However, if you make sure your different themes are using the same Bootstrap version (v2.0 - old, v3.0 - most used, v4.0 - beta) and you are familiar with HTML you should be able to switch them.
I used to work with the official Bootstrap themes (they used to be free), more recently I have been using startboostrap.com (nb - I am in no way affiliated with them), which by the way have a basic dashboard template.
