You absolutely can dance to jazz, depending on the song and rhythm.
Jazz is not random, nor pseudorandom. (That would make it a lot easier for me in my solos, but also would ultimately make jazz a very boring genre).

It’s a living, mostly ephemeral thing. It’s a live conversation - listen to the interactions between the players, it’s not static.
