I have read the Galata Mevlevihanesi will be closed at the time of my RS tour this October. Has anyone been to an alternate Whirling Dervish ceremony in Istanbul that was the real ritual as opposed to a performance?

I saw the ceremony that is described here - http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/go/Istanbul/Sights/Beyoglu/mevlevi_sirkeci.html - and thought it was wonderful. It was an amazing ceremony and I would highly recommend it. http://mardeeinturkey.wordpress.com
