ABOUT YASMIN
CREATING STORIES WORTH TELLING
”The goal isn’t to do more. It’s to live more.”
I´m Yasmin Casaca
— a performer, action actress, dancer, speaker, and entrepreneur based in Sweden.
My work sits at the intersection of movement, storytelling, leadership, and human connection. Whether I’m performing on stage, speaking to a team, creating a film project, or building a community, I’m driven by the same belief:
Life is meant to be lived fully.
For more than two decades, I’ve explored movement through martial arts, dance, acrobatics, coaching, and performance. Alongside my creative work, I’ve built businesses, led teams, coached professionals, and created projects designed to help people grow, connect, and reach beyond what they thought was possible.
Today, I combine these worlds through performance, speaking, creative projects, and BachataMe — while continuing to pursue acting at a professional level.
I believe in creating stories worth telling, taking ownership of your path, and daring to live a bigger life than fear would allow.
My journey
Movement has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I started training Capoeira at the age of 11 and began teaching at 14. At 15, I moved away from home to pursue movement and performance through circus training, later continuing with dance and an intensive Capoeira school.
Over the years, movement became more than a passion. It became a way of understanding life.
I trained and competed in several disciplines, including martial arts, submission wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, acrobatics, and dance. I was part of an elite-level MMA environment in Gothenburg, taught and coached others, and had the opportunity to train and work in different countries around the world.
Then everything changed…
In my early twenties, a serious spinal injury forced me to rethink my future.
Several career paths disappeared overnight, and for a long time, limitations became part of everyday life.
But the experience taught me something valuable:
You don’t always get to choose your circumstances, but you do get to choose your response.
Instead of giving up, I adapted. I rebuilt. I learned how to move forward differently.
That mindset has followed me ever since.
Alongside my movement background, I’ve spent years building businesses, leading teams, coaching professionals, creating communities, and helping people grow. I’ve always been fascinated by what happens when individuals stop holding themselves back and start stepping into their potential.
Creatively, that same curiosity has led me to dance, stage performance, film, acting, and storytelling.
Today, I’m building a life that reflects everything I’ve learned along the way — movement, creativity, leadership, courage, and growth.
As a mother, performer, speaker, entrepreneur, and actor, my goal isn’t simply to achieve more.
It’s to live fully.
To keep growing.
To keep creating.
And hopefully inspire others to do the same.
