Every time I see Ken Wannberg's name, I remember this scene from the Revenge of the Sith behind-the-scenes footage of him arguing to make the music noticeable against Ben Burtt's "noisy" sound effects:

It's a clever subversion too, because (outside a brief glance of patrons sitting at a table) it's designed to give the impression you're about to enter the titular "Temple of Doom," complete with JW's 'scary' music as the camera moves into the 'fire.'
 
Clearly the nightclub dance is intended to parallel the human-sacrifice 'dance number' in the actual Temple. @Bellosh already pointed out the connection between the heart-tearing and the dancers' red ribbons, but there's plenty of other parallels. The percussionist that signals the arrival of the main performer (Willie/Mola Ram).

 

 
Some type of monolithic demon with "fire" emanating from its mouth, at the center of the dance:

 

 
The pose in front of the 'demon'!

 

 
You could make the case that Willie running down the ramp carrying that giant red ribbon behind her is an abstract representation of this:

 

 
It's a reverse of the sacrificial dances in Peter Jackson's King Kong (you first see the natives performing the sacrifice on Skull Island, then later a bunch of actors performing a whitewashed version on stage).

Jim Nova (https://jimnova.com/about/) is a huge John Williams fan and is a trombonist in the Pittsburgh Symphony.  
 
I was looking at his YouTube page (https://www.youtube.com/user/jn1578) and came across this:
 
 
 
Fun video and a great performance!

From the YouTube page
Turns out that many S.E. Shires trombone artists are huge football fans! So I decided to take my trombone arrangement of the NBC Football Theme, Wide Receiver, by John Williams (of course!) and expand it into a 10 part version! We all may root for different NFL teams, but we're all on the Shires Team!
