I am on a Rick Steves Istanbul tour. Will we be able to get away during the tour to see the whirling dervishes while in Istanbul?

Welcome to the RS forums, largersense!
The best way to get an answer to your particular question is probably to email RS guided tour office:

They are busy folks so may not get back to you same day (or over a weekend) but they'll get to you just as soon as they can! :O)

Yes, in fact during our Best of Istanbul tour, the guide inquired who would like to see the Whirling Dervishes and also the Hodjapasha Dance Evening - they're held in the same venue. I believe he arranged the tickets for everyone who was interested, which each person then paid for at the venue.
That was around night 4 or 5 of our tour.
