Hayden Portable Dance Floor Rentals
was founded in 1956 by Ernie & Lois DiGennaro. Ernie DiGennaro
created the concept of a portable 3' x 4' dance floor panel that
could fit together to make any number of sizes.
He
came up with his unique idea after years of dancing professionally
under the stage name: Ernie Hayden.
The Digennaros rented dance
floors in the Los Angeles area. The floors became so popular
that they decided to start manufacturing and selling them under
the name of "California Portable Dance Floors."
They
later incorporated the two companies and dropped the Hayden name. In
1995, they sold the rental division to Phil and Judy Maxwell. Phil
and Judy, in keeping with the original, re-assumed the name "Hayden
Portable Dance Floor Rentals, Inc."
California Dance Floors still manufactures and
sells the dance floor panels. Hayden Portable is
currently owned and operated by Jennifer, Phil and Judy Maxwell's
daughter.

As you can see, it's all in the family!
Being a small family-owned business means we
never lose sight of the details. We focus solely on dance floors,
so our customers know that they will always get a superior product
that is cleaned and serviced after every use.
We take pride in our quality and service. Our
family reputation depends on it. We like to say "we keep good
company."
Note: Ernie
DiGennaro passed away on September 10, 2003. Somewhere,
on the other side, Ernie is dancing again.
