PAC Modern is a division of the PAC, Pilipino American Coalition, at California State University Long Beach. Founded by a small group of friends in hopes of using dance as an outlet for the expression of today’s youth.

Originating as a mere pre-show act for PCN – Pilipino Cultural Night, an annual theatrical production that exhibits the culture and history of the Philippine Islands through acting, dance, and song – in 1995, PAC Modern has grown into an unstoppable force, earning a respectable name within a fierce and competitive dance scene.

PAC Modern displays a wide range of dance mostly influenced by various styles and forms of hip hop. Just a few of the styles exhibited by the group includes break dancing, grooving and new school. Their performance style and choreography has been known to be unpredictable, influential, original, and innovating, with routines to prove the team’s versatility in dance.

Aside from dancing, the group also enjoys hanging out with family and friends outside of practice. They still manage to continue their education, work either part-time or full-time jobs, participate in various community events and establish friendships within the performance and competitive dance community.

PAC Modern continues to grow as a talented and dedicated family, whose positive energy will prosper for years to come. PAC Modern embraces the meaning of family and emits the essence of community to those around. Celebrating 15 years in existence, this family will strive to continue the passion, the love, and the hunger to represent the past, present, and future of PAC Modern dancers.
