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.
