Wider opening lens, boost your ISO upwards, hold camera very still.

You are in the right place Lenny.
Lots of practice, lenses, speed, flash.
Not at all familiar with Nikon let alone s9900.
Someone here will.
It helps if you post some of those pictures, downloadable.
Please be careful not to embarrass anyone at the sweet sixteen party.

Welcome to UHH.
Take your camera off Auto. For the situation you mention, use Shutter Priority. Set the shutter speed to 1/250. See how that works.

Hi Lenny. Welcome.
Bluriness indicates movement. Either the subjects were moving, or you were. The best way to remedy this is to use a higher shutter speed. However, doing so may not allow sufficient light to get to the sensor, which means the images will be dark.
Sensor sensitivity, shutter speed and aperture size comprise the "exposure triangle". Google that phrase and read a few articles about it so that you have a good understanding of it. Then, practice. After that, practice some more. Experiment with your particular camera. It will eventually come together for you.
Good luck.

Very well put. If I may add, underexposed is far better than over exposed. When under exposed they can often be rescued with Picasa, a free photo adjustment tool.

Welcome to our forum!
It sounds like flash would have helped.
Welcome Lenny. I often take what I read here with a grain of salt--a squeeze of lime--and a shot of Montezuma.
Welcome to the forum! Your camera was not built for shooting in low light without flash. It set too slow of a shutter speed, and that's why you got blurry photos. Indoors you are better off using flash.
To shoot indoors, or in low light in general, you need a fast lens and/or a high iso. Your camera has a relatively slow lens, and it does not perform well at high iso's. That's why it's best to use flash indoors.
Use a flash,not the tiny one on the cameraA big one you put on top.....
