Roche Ellen Carnival Experience: Ellen Roche started to parade in 2000 at the Brazilian Carnival and believes this grandiose festivity is an excellent way to maintain her body, soul and spirit. The Brazilian muse established herself in São Paulo entertainment business and for this reason decided to participate at the São Paulo carnival, with Rosas de Ouro Samba School.

At first, she would dance just like any regular merry-maker, on “the ground.” Then, the celebrity and model was invited in 2006 to become the Queen of Drums, one of the most disputed posts within a very traditional Samba-School of Sao Paulo.

This goddess of Samba was always enchanted by the luxurious samba costumes, the vibes and energy of the Carnival spirit.

Roche Ellen states
: “It is important to enjoy and give the deserved value to the good things in life. Of course it is essential to have responsibility, but it is also important to live for today without thinking too much about tomorrow.” She also emphasizes the importance of having a true connection with the percussionists and the samba-school community as a whole.

When asked to reveal some of her tricks to shine at Carnival, the Brazilian goddess recommends a “balanced diet and exercises”. She says the entire carnival dance routine is ideal way to lose weight, since samba-dancing is very energy consuming. She also told us another secret to help maintain her dazzling beauty and avoid toxins: She drinks two cups of purple grape juice every day, one in the morning and one at night.

Ellen Roche is a perfect example as to how Carnival can also be of great help in developing a healthy and enjoyable life. Muse Roche, Ellen> is truly a master on how dance samba should be! Way to go!
