In 1936, Baatar was born in Aldarkhaan soum, Zavkhan aimag as the only son of the local courier and traditional healer Norov and the herdswoman Donoi of the Sartuul.

[4] After completing People's Republic of Mongolia's only arts and dance middle school in 1946[5]-1950,[6] Baatar worked at State Musical Drama Theatre in Ulaanbaatar as a full-time dancer, and then went to Russia to pursue further education in 1959-1962.

[10] In addition to performing in Mongolia, Baatar danced in Georgia, the Soviet Union, Hungary, China, Romania, Moldavia, and Yugoslavia.

Even after his retirement in 1989,[12] he was invited to perform in ballets such as Giselle, Swan Lake and The Fountain of Bakhchisarai until the early 2010s, due to his highly regarded dancing skills.

[15] Another critic also praises "[Baatar's] ability to enrich the fundamental movements he learned from the Perm Classical Ballet School with his inner emotions elevated him to the ranks of great dancers".
