Callum Hendry-Hodsdon (born May 4th 2001) is a Wiggly Dancer who made his debut in the Wiggly Christmas Big Show at the age of 17. He also plays Henry the Octopus and Wags the Dog.
Callum started dancing by accident waiting for his sister, Paloma, at their local ballet school Honeybrooks in Balmain. He was asked to join in a class and the rest was history.
In 2010 (at age 9), Callum's family moved to Melbourne for him to attend the Australian Ballet School where he studied for a further 8 years. In 2017, he relocated to study with the Queensland Ballet Academy and within weeks, he was an Adult Supremacy in David McAllister's Sleeping Beauty for the Australian Ballet in QPAC. In 2019, he graduated from Pre-Professional Programme and has been offered a contract with the West Australian Ballet commencing 2020.
Anthony discovered Callum while he was dancing at a summer school at Sydney in 2016 and Anthony asked him and Paloma if they would dance in their new TV series, which was an amazing experience. Since then, Callum has appeared in numerous videos as a Wiggly Dancer and sometimes works behind the scenes as a crew member and is also currently dating Lucia Field.
