Night clubs are tough places to shoot, with the rooms being very dark usually, and the ceiling being dark as well. The best you can hope for if shooting existing light is to use your highest iso, and shutter priority at about 1/30 or 1/60. If you want to use aperture priority and shoot at max aperture, you will get more images, but a lot more will be blurred. If there is any way you can bounce flash off the ceiling it will help a lot, but may distract the patrons. Straight on flash works too, but will make the pics look "hard" instead of natural, and will cause the background light level to be a lot lower than the subjects in the flash.
Most night clubs have adjustable lighting, so you may want to see if the owner can bump up the light a little while you are shooting. If you shoot early in the evening before the patrons get too tipsy there will be less chance of getting into a scrape with them about taking their picture.
