The Tampa Bay area has an interesting dance scene. Pro-am dancing sustains the ballroom economy, but there's really no equivalent competitive world for competitive amateur dancers. This occurs for a variety of reasons (many more women than men, older and wealthier demographic, a lack of ballroom programs/teams at universities, etc) and continues for a host of other reasons that I won't get into. If you have the resources for pro-am or are primarily interested in lessons or social dancing alone, you can find a solid coach and a satisfying ballroom dancing scene.
On the other hand, Tampa has a diverse partner dancing scene. It's not as large as in other cities, but you can find great venues and instructors for swing, salsa, and tango. If you're interested in dancing in an am/am-sustained environment in Tampa, these social styles will prove more fruitful.
