The dance legend is gone.
Sunday Dancing with the Stars Aira Samulin, who died on Monday, is remembered in the broadcast.
Today, in his familiar place, a golden chair can be seen empty, visibly glittering among the black chairs.

Samulin was a familiar face on TTK broadcasts for years. He was there even during the corona period, when there were no others in the audience of the beloved dance program.
Dance influencer Samulin’s last TTK broadcast was the episode filmed on October 15. At that time, he danced with the rest of the audience Macarena and sat in his familiar place next to the TTK judges.
