The dervish dance is so traditional and spiritual. I can feel how the dancers try to connect them with the god which is so spiritually touching. it is worth to watch once
The Dervish dance, or Sufi whirling, is a mesmerizing spiritual performance that beautifully encapsulates the essence of devotion and inner peace. Watching the dancers spin in their flowing robes, lost in the rhythm of the music, creates a hypnotic and transcendent experience. The fluidity and grace of their movements, coupled with the deep spiritual significance, evoke a sense of calm and reflection. It's a unique blend of art and spirituality that captivates the mind and soul. The Dervish dance is truly a powerful and moving experience, leaving a lasting impression of serenity and inspiration.
There are currently only a few performances of traditional religious ceremonies in Istanbul that are solemn and solemn! Photography is not allowed, but there are many introductions outside the performance venue to learn about the ins and outs of Sufi dance.
awesome ceremony! The place is easy to find, beside Basilica cistern, there’s a guide that help us to answer any questions we have at the end of the session
Was a good experience and glad we got to catch a show during our short trip in Istanbul. The ticket process was seamless and I just had to show the Klook voucher to enter. In addition to the ceremony, there is also a small exhibition which tells you more about the tradition.
You really must experience such a performance when you come to Türkiye, it is very exciting.
Just a heads-up, there are multiple locations for the Whirling Dervishes show in Istanbul's Hodjapasha Cultural Center. We went to the wrong one and had to rush to the correct location. Luckily, we decided to see the Whirling Dervishes, and it was even better than we imagined – way better than Turkish Night! Highly recommended.
stunning performance for sure! suitable for all ages. been there with kids and senior citizens. should check them out!
This is a very wonderful traditional performance. Pay attention to respect and quiet appreciation, and you can't take pictures during the process.
The traditional cultural performance is definitely worth seeing, but it's really easy to end up in the wrong place. We were a few minutes late, but fortunately, the on-site staff was very kind, let us in, and told us to take our time.
