A weekender is a multi-day event including workshops, socials, and other community activities that span the length of one weekend. 

Find and click the appropriate button on this webpage to purchase tickets.

Typically, all weekenders are hosted at Omni Studios and span a full weekend - from Friday evening (8 PM onward) to Sunday evening (before 10 PM) - on the fourth weekend of every month. Exact schedules are usually added to this webpage or the respective Facebook event page.

Day-time Weekender workshops typically occur from 12pm-3pm on both Saturdays and Sundays. Evening workshops typically occur before the social begins at 8PM. Socials/Parties typically begin at 9pm and go until 1AM or later based on demand.

Weekenders typically have ~6-7 total hours of workshops that each last 1-1.5 hours, and parties that last anywhere from 4-6 hours each evening.

The Omni Movement may provides several types of Passes depending on the level of access you would like during the event:

• Full Pass - Includes access to all workshops and socials/parties, through the entire weekend at a bulk discounted price.

• Day Pass - Includes access to all workshops for a single day.

• Workshop Pass - Includes access to one workshop only.

• Night Pass - Includes access to evening socials/parties and drop-in workshops (i.e. Friday, Saturday, AND/OR Sunday)

• Social Pass - Includes access to socials/parties only - no workshop entry. 

The descriptions of each pass are considered typical for most Omni weekenders. Weekenders may include some or all of the pass types depending on the artist. Always read the description under each pass carefully before purchasing a pass to ensure correctness.

Many of our weekender workshops are designed in a semi-progressive format, meaning that the workshops may start beginner and build progressively towards more intermediate and advanced topics. 

To maximize learning and preserve the cohort of students, most weekenders will not include single workshop passes and may limit day passes. 

We accept drop-ins up to the capacity for that event. As such, we cannot guarantee that drop-ins will be allowed during weekenders. All pre-registered dancers will receive priority and be guaranteed entry. 

Auditing (i.e. watching a class without physical participation) is not allowed during Omni Weekenders.

Each Weekender will feature a guest artist or artist couple who will teach many if not all of the workshops throughout the weekend. 

Day-time Omni Weekender workshops typically use a semi-progressive model where the material for earlier classes builds into the understanding of material for later classes. The workshops will cover a wider range of topics and difficulty compared to progressive series, like the OmniZouk classes. 

Evening Omni Weekender workshops, when available, are typically open-level and available for drop-in before the Zoukland social. 
All workshop topics are typically announced ~1 week before the weekender. Like & follow The Omni Movement Facebook Page and Instagram for real-time updates. They will also become available on this webpage as soon as possible.

We recommend that participants have some experience in the dance style featured during the weekender before registering. 

A good question to ask yourself if you are unsure of your experience level is: “Can I dance to one full song in this style?” If yes, then feel free to join us! If not, you may consider trying a progressive class series instead. 

Certain workshops may be limited to more experienced dancers. We will note prerequisites for these workshops clearly in the event details, so please read carefully!

Option 1: Full or partial refunds are only provided in the case of severe illness or medical emergency. If this occurs, please email documented proof of illness or emergency including relevant dates to info@theomnimovement.org. 

Option 2: Passes may be transferred to another dancer up to one week before the weekender begins (i.e. the last day to transfer your pass for a weekender occurring on Jan 27-29 will be Friday, Jan 20th). A transfer fee of $10 per transfer is included and can be paid by either transfer party involved through the ticketing platform.

No partial transfers are permitted. For example, if you purchased a full pass, you cannot transfer the ‘social pass’ included in the full pass. 

Omni recommends wearing comfortable attire for class. Soft-soled shoes (e.g. sneakers, jazz shoes) are encouraged given the high number of pivots and turns. 

Culturally speaking, Zouk communities including Omni’s tend to not prescribe a particular dress code (e.g. semi-formal) but rather prioritize the dancer’s comfort over their appearance. 

Omni swag and merchandise is highly encouraged and will be sold at Omni Weekenders. Email info@theomnimovement.org if you are interested. 

Current fashion trends in Zouk include bodysuits and Taygra shoes. If you’re interested in Taygra’s you may purchase them here and use Omni’s discount code “SPIN4OMNI” for 10% off. 

The Omni Movement believes that the best social dancers understand the mechanics of both leader and follower roles regardless of their gender. 

In this spirit, Omni encourages role changing to promote degendering of roles and empathy between roles.

At the same time, Omni acknowledges that leader and follower roles are separate competencies and the balance of leaders and followers is important to the success of a class. As such, all of our weekenders separate leader and follower passes to ensure a balanced ratio, and we ask you to select the role that you will primarily dance for the workshops that weekend. 

If for any reason, there is a need for more dancers in your non-purchased role to balance a particular workshop, you may opt to switch roles.

Private lessons (i.e. lessons for 1 to 2 students) are a means of accelerating a student’s learning through the provision of targeted feedback. Most visiting artists will have time slots available for private lessons on a first-come first-serve basis.

The Omni Movement does not take profit from nor manage the rates of the private lessons of any visiting artists. We sometimes manage the scheduling and logistics of private lessons between visiting artists & students. 

If private instruction is desired, visit The Omni Movement Calendly to view time slots & hourly rates, and secure your lesson. If no lessons are seen, inquire about how private lessons for a visiting artist are to be scheduled through email to info@theomnimovement.org. 

Instruction will occur at Omni Studios or at an otherwise noted private location. 

Time changes & cancellation policies are at the discretion of each individual artist. We will note this in the Calendly.
