Aigars began dancing at the age of five.
Aigars has led the festival’s journey from the first Gadu mijā competition in Dobele at the end of 1982 to Baltic Grand Prix 2026 — a 44-year festival tradition. As director of Dance Centre Spektrs, he remains the festival’s head organiser. He is also an active WDSF adjudicator in Standard, Latin and Ten Dance.
