Gerdt studied under Marius Petipa and his father Jean. He was known as the Prince of St Petersburg stage, because he was the first to dance Prince Siegfried in Swan Lake, Prince Desire in Sleeping Beauty, and Prince Coqueluche in The Nutcracker. Nobody in the theatre knew his real age and, when asked, he would always say that he was 23. Among his disciples at the Imperial Ballet School were Michel Fokine, Vaslav Nijinsky, Anna Pavlova, and George Balanchine.
