Camera settings will greatly depend on the outcome that you wanted. The aperture will dictate how much you will need your center of interest (your subject on the photo) be isolated from the rest (usually the background) - wider opening (smaller number) more isolation of subject from the rest. The shutter speed number to choose will depend how fast you will need to stop the motion or how much motion you want to allow to be seen on your photo - moving subjects can be sharp while panning the camera with the subject in linear motion at 1/60sec while the rest on the background is recorded in motion blur effect or you might want to freeze all movement with at least 1/500sec specially for jumping dancers to look like hovering forever above ground.

Watch where the source of light come from with respect to your subject - move to a better location for better view. Use a flash to highlight your subject (or to fill some light on their faces or eyes or to have better colors) if the background have more light than your targeted subject unless you wanted them as darker trace against a bright background. Should you have less time to think all about the settings, make use of P (Program mode where the camera decides for the aperture and shutter speed) for calmer situations that doesn't require much shutter speed to stop motion and make use of lower ISO setting for better color rendition as much as possible or use Sports mode for everything to stop on every photo. The good thing with today's camera with auto ISO setting and with JPEG Fine enabled, the noise is no longer a big issue at any ISO. Always practice better composition, make use of the rule of thirds whenever in doubt in framing your center of interest (by placing them on any of the third points or lines on the frame whichever is pleasing to your eye).

Lastly, don't focus much on the camera settings to use, give priority on the fun of making photographs (everything pleasing to your eye is nice to keep in a photograph) - that way you'll enjoy the experience without any regrets. When in doubt with what you see on your viewfinder (meaning you don't see it as a pleasing view), better not take the shot - it simply means something is not right on your composition, you have to reframe it or wait for much better. The best part in making photographs is to always have them first in mind and find them later on the field for recording - less stress on your part, less stress on your equipment.
