Both worked for the Russian Imperial Ballet. Nicolai became an important teacher and after leaving the Imperial Ballet in 1914 went on to teach dance in Russia, Paris and London, where he eventually settled. Sergei, regarded as the greater choreographer and perceived as the natural successor to Pavel Gerdt as the Imperial Ballet's Premier danseur noble, died by suicide, aged 30. \r\n\r\nThe brothers worked together to produce caricatures of fellow dancers, choreographers and musicians at the Russian Imperial Ballet.","physicalDescription":"Caricature of Sergei Legat by Nicolai and Sergei Legat.
