Sema
Sema or sama (Arabic: ???? ) is a term that means hearing. It is used, as a borrowed word in Persian, to refer to some of the ceremonies used by various sufi orders and often involves prayer, song, dance, and other ritualistic activities.
Sema dancing is known to Europeans as the dance of the Whirling Dervishes (see Sufi whirling), although many forms of sema do not include whirling.
