Turkish Tanoura - Sufi · Toronto & Canada
Sufi Whirling Performer in Toronto
Slow, calm whirling in the Mevlevi tradition, in robes of green, black, white or red. A moment of stillness inside the celebration.
About the Turkish Tanoura - Sufi show
Sufi whirling, often called the whirling dervish dance, comes from the Mevlevi tradition. Karim presents it as a performance for events, in Mevlevi-style robes, with calm, steady turns and a quiet mood.
It suits a first entrance, a moment before dinner or a cultural programme where you want something meditative rather than loud.
Sufi whirling or Egyptian tanoura?
The two are related but look different. The Turkish Tanoura - Sufi show is slow and spiritual, in long robes. The Egyptian Tanoura is colourful and fast, with a wide skirt and layered tricks. Many clients book both so the evening has a calm moment and a big one.
