I feel you should re-pot most orchids when there is a new growth with some new roots, not when it is dormant. The new roots adapt readily to the new media whereas sometimes the old ones don't. The new ones will help feed the entire plant after the re-pot. You'll have to really be careful with that soil to not over water. I wonder how the roots in the center are. I also feel that sometimes when roots are circling the pot like that its because they don't like what's in the pot and are trying to get more air. But that is just my thought.
