Plate spinning and “Sabre Dance”

One thought on “Plate spinning and “Sabre Dance”

  1. I have looked for a video of plate spinning to Sabre Dance as well with the same results. Lots of plate spinning, lots of Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance but never the two together. I’m glad to hear that someone else links the two and I’m not simply inventing that memory in my old age!
