High ISO, long shutter.

High ISO being, probably ISO800.
Long shutter being, around 1/4th.

The kit lens has IS, so don't be afraid to drop the shutter to even 1 second or more at 18mm.

This thread has everything you need to know about night club shooting:

bring a monopod to help you hold it at 1/4!! I rarely try handholding under 1/60 (maybe 1/40 pushing it).

First, if you want to show images that you haven't personally shot, or other material, just post a link to it as there are © issues?
