No, it is not compulsory for every Muslim. Actually, Whirling Dervish is a sufi kind of dance, practiced in Turkey and its purpose is to feel unity with Allah. This tradition was started in reference with Jalal-ud-Din Rumi, who was one of the major Muslims mystics and is still revered in all over the World, including Turkey.

What is meant by the saying whirling dervish?

Dervishes are the Muslim equivalent of Buddhist or Christian monks. They take a vow of poverty and beg or work in order to give to the poor. One meditation practiced by dervishes involves spinning or 'whirling'. Despite being a religious practice, it has also come to be seen as a performance and tourist attraction in places like Turkey. Colloquially, the term can describe someone rushing about taking little care of their surroundings.
