One thing I tried that made for fun, interesting shots at a party(this was a teen dance) is to have your camera on a tripod, set a fairly show shutter speed(I did it for 8 seconds...too long!), i.e.,1/2- 2 seconds(try different speeds, take a lot of shots)and use the flash. This technique will slightly blur motion while the flash will effectively "freeze" motion. If your flash has manual power settings, all the better, but this is where trial and error come in. I took the flash off the camera, and during the few seconds of exposure I forced the flash from a few yards away from the camera...side lighting. The effect was fun and dramatic.
I guess you could try it without the tripod too. Slow shutter speed, used with the flash. Freezes the motion, but also blurs the "flashless" motion.
Have fun and good luck.
