You may need to shoot one or two dances: one slow, another one fast, unless the couple is asking for more. You may shoot the series of segments of various dances to show how the evening unfolds. Whatever is your idea, double check if it is exactly what your couple wants.
From technical point of view, I would not recommend using stationary lights, as it will ruin the party mood. Rely on DJ’s lights and your camera light. Combine both and stay within the range of the lights strength.
In order to make video more exciting, vary your camera angle: shoot from low angle, then from your hands up. Watching music videos will give you an idea of shooting technique.
Be careful with an aperture while using your camera light and moving fast at the same time. Keep the dancing crowd properly exposed.
