Dervish Dance Performers

Rooted in Sufi Islamic tradition, whirling dervish dancing, also known as tanoura, is a captivating form of dance entertainment where performers spin continuously in circles. Representing the movement of planets around the sun, the dance aims to transcend personal desires or nafs.

Featuring 2 dancers and capable of performing both traditional Turkish Sufi dancing and the Egyptian style, Scarlett Entertainment's London-based dervish dancers are highly sought after for festivals, cultural events, weddings, and theatres around the world.

Having appeared on BBC Arabic and Channel 4, one of these talented tanoura dance acts holds the Guinness World Record for the most Sufi rotations within an hour. Able to perform in either white dresses or vibrant costumes, our whirling dervish artists offer traditional, modern, or spiritual shows tailored to your event's needs. They can also include talks and workshops on Sufi dance whirling, making this authentic act a must-see.
