Dollar for dollar zooms will always be inferior to fixed focal lengths.
If you spent the price of the SIGMA on a 35mm f1.8 lens - $1000 US, it would be better than the Sigma Zoom.

A 35mm f1.8 is a very good selection.
A f1.4 or 1.2 would be better, but much more money.

Most beginners do not know how to properly use 18mm to 24mm, so is not recommended for a beginner. Wasted money.

You need a flash for nightclub photo

As chiaraye says, you will need flash.
Also, will you have permission to use a DSLR. You had better check that out first.
