Omni 3.0 Is Here — Help Shape Our Next Chapter (Feedback Open Until June 25)
Dear Omni community,
We’re entering the most important evolution in Omni’s journey to date.
Over the past few months, we’ve been reflecting deeply on what’s working, what’s not, and what it will truly take for Omni to be a thriving, community-powered home for social dance. What’s emerged is a clear, values-aligned blueprint for our future—Omni 3.0.
This isn’t just a new schedule or curriculum update. It’s a fundamental shift in how we operate, how we fund our mission, and how we serve our community. But before we finalize anything, we want to hear from you.
What’s Changing?
Here’s the big picture:
We’re moving to a new space (and saying goodbye to our full-time lease)
We’re simplifying and strengthening our programs—fewer offerings, deeper curriculum, clearer paths for progression
We’re retiring programs that no longer serve the community well
We’re redesigning our advancement and pricing systems
We’re becoming fiscally sponsored so we can raise donations like a nonprofit
We’re launching a community-powered fundraising campaign in July
Each of these shifts is rooted in a single purpose: to create a more sustainable, inspiring, and student-centered Omni. We’ve prepared two short documents to walk you through the full vision and what’s ahead. Each one includes a Loom video from me (Imaan, CEO) explaining the details and the reasons behind the changes.

Share your thoughts as a comment in the respective brief, via our feedback form, or by scheduling time with Imaan
We’ll be making final decisions by early July, and we want this next chapter to reflect the needs and hopes of everyone who’s helped us come this far.
Thank You
Omni 3.0 is about rebuilding with clarity—letting go of what no longer serves us, and rooting deeper into what does. This is a turning point for our school, and we couldn’t be more grateful to walk it with you.
With love and purpose,
Imaan + the Omni Team
