Not really man. I live in Clearwater and its mainly breaks. And not even good breaks. However, I dont know how close to Clearwater you are, but right before the beach theres a place called Greenbacks. Me and a couple of buddies spin there on Monday nights. We spin a mixture of progressive breaks, progressive house and trance. Its usually a pretty decent turnout of about 50-100 people. However, this coming monday we are starting a new drink special. $6.00 all you can drink. So that should start bringing more people out. Other than that, the closest you will get to trance is once in a while at the Ybor Ampitheater. Tomorrow night they have Kimball Collins there. But Clearwater is home to a popular trance dj named Suzy Solar. She actually works out at my gym.

about a month or so ago i started going to rain lounge on saturdays, they play progressive, some trance, but ussually prog mixes of trance tunes...

that's probably the best i have found. rain lounge is not in ybor city (tampa), it's on nebraska ave. in downtown tampa ($5 21+ all)

that greenbacks place sounds interesting...

That's as pretty cool club. I like the waterfall thing they have going down the window. Kinda reminds me of some of the clubs in Miami.
