stage name of Adriana Soares, is a Brazilian dancer, model, television host, and actress. In her early days, Adriana Bombom lived in an orphanage and worked as a nanny and as a saleslady.[1] In 1996, she was invited to work for the TV show Xuxa Park where she participated in the sketch comedy "Academia de ginástica da Xuxa".[2] She then worked as a dancer in the show Planeta Xuxa,[3] where, according to at least one author, she played "a secondary, but very visible role" so Xuxa could avoid the accusations that her show did not hire black artists.[4] While working there, she released a single with two songs that she used to sing during the intervals of the show. The songs were Dança da Bombom (Bombom's Dance) and Bom Apetite (Enjoy Your Meal).
