Trance is a style of electronic dance music that developed mostly in the late 80's and 1990's, largely in Europe. According to Wikipedia it normally has a speed of about 130 or 160 bpm but its not a defining factor. Normally it uses a sample or synthesiser chords to build up throughout the track till it reaches a peak. Often, especially in later trance examples, a vocal sample is also used. Unlike other forms of electronic music the sample is normally kept in one piece rather than fragmented.
Trance is quite accessible due to its melodic nature. Look up Paul Van Dyke- some of his stuff is legendary and still played in clubs years later. Try 'For an Angel' for a genre and era defining track.
Also look for Paul Oakenfold, DJ Tiesto and DJ Jean for mainstream trance pioneers. Over time trance had become a little more pop based (or 'anthem' based depending on which music nerd you listen to) which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but is derided by purists. If this is the stuff your looking for try the Minestry of Sound compilations- the early ones before they got really shit.
Hope that helped a bit.
Peace out.
