Upon looking at my "Things to do List Before I Die" one thing I wanted to see was whirling dervishes dance. Some people want to swim with dolphins, I want to see Whirling Dervishes. Last Friday night I saw (and heard) the Ensemble Al-Kindi & Whirling Dervishes of Damascus, Richard Hagopian’s Kef Time Ensemble at Millenium Park. It was truly magical. There were two dancers. They did a total of four "sets". Every movement is a graceful symbol of their devotion. I noticed that one foot seems to pivot while the other moves about. Fascinating and beautiful.
