I shoot photos at a nightclub and I may not be the best at giving advice as I could consider myself an advanced amateur. I shoot many photos at night and that is actually mainly what I do as far as photos go. Here is some of the advice I can give you.

TTL flashes are gold, but they don't produce consistent photos as the lighting changes constantly, but if you don't use one there will be too much grain and the photos will have VERY poor exposure in most cases unless your using a f/2.8 lens or faster.

Set your exposure to a few seconds or between 2-5 seconds. Why? Because if you use the flash and set it off it will freeze them and then the longer exposure will bring out the darkness in the background and make it look lively.

Trial and error is a big thing, you will make mistakes but that can be combated by taking a lot of photos.

Expect mixed reactions when the camera is going around, anything from running away scarred to complete excitement.

Make sure you have plenty of batteries for both the camera (CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES BEFORE HAND) and the flash batteries or keep battery packs for the flash charged as well.

Also keep your iso between 640-1600, anything over 1000 might be too harsh but use that and keep your iso between f/2.8-f/9.

Have fun and good luck :)
