Reem Hanwell is one of the people who worked with The Wiggles. She started her training at the Donna Halloran School of Dance at age 6. She does Irish dancing, jazz, tap, and ballet, so it was a natural transition when the Wiggles added her to the mascot cast. She played Henry the Octopus in the early Wiggles seasons and a Wiggly Dancer. As of 2002, she left the Wiggles cast to pursue university studies.
