  The mobility of Leidenfrost drop has been exploited for the manipulation of
drop motions. In the classical model, the Leidenfrost drop was levitated by a
vapor cushion, in the absence of touch to the surface. Here we report a
standing Leidenfrost state on a heated hydrophobic surface where drop stands on
the surface with partial adhesion and further self-rotates like Sufi-whirling.
To elucidate this new phenomenon, we imaged the evolution of the partial
adhesion, the inner circulation, and the ellipsoidal rotation of the drop. The
stable partial adhesion is accompanied by thermal and mechanical equilibrium,
and further drives the development of the drop rotation.
