Samahang Modern is UCLA’s Pilipinx-initiated competitive dance team. Founded in 1986 as the Jazz portion of Samahang Pilipino Cultural Night (SPCN), it was the first suite to feature modern dances, and later had an emphasis on hip hop when it started to become a prevalent scene in 1998. In 2002, Samahang Modern split off from SPCN and became an independent competitive dance team while still participating as a modern component in SPCN.
