The Zea Mays is Concordia College’s dance team. The name is cleverly derived from the biological nomenclature for corn!
The team performs at Concordia's football and basketball games. The Zea Mays are also active in various shows on campus and in the community. Along with these performances, the team competes both on the local and national level.
The season begins in late August and continues until national competition in January.

Jennifer Stompro and Brittney Lundblad are the coaches for the Zea Mays and can be contacted at 299-4434 or e-mail at:

Tryouts
Any Concordia student, freshman through senior, is able to try out for the team. Tryouts for the 2006-2007 team are scheduled for September 4-7. During the first three days participants will learn a short routine as well as dance technique. On the fourth day, dancers will perform the routine and skills before a panel of judges. The judges will not choose a set number of individuals, but will accept as many as possible who they believe will be beneficial to the team.
pirouettes: single, double, triple
fouettes
pique turns
chaine turns
axel
leaps: split leap or switch leap
russian/toe touch
flexibility skills: splits, extentions
We will be teaching these skills during tryouts; dancers are not required to know them before tryouts. If you have any more questions e-mail one of the captains or visit us at the Cobber Expo in the fall.
Concordia College is a private, four year liberal arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. |
