See & Do - Dance: Whirling Dervishes of Rumi February 11 2009

Wed., Feb. 11

It seems like lately it’s hard to roll out of bed without some jerk reminding you how bad the economy is. If you’re in desperate need of swapping the mundane for the mystical, you should check out the WHIRLING DERVISHES OF RUMI. Their dance is a form of worship. Set against mesmerizing music and recitations of poetry, the dervishes’ gentle turns grow increasingly dramatic as each dancer attempts to reach a state of trance. $28-$68. 6:30 p.m. Rialto Center for the Arts, 80 Forsyth St. 404-413-9849. www.rialtocenter.org.
