When I do dribbling, I move my feet fast.

Is 'do dribbling' ok?
  

Top answer

No. When I dribble a basketball, I move my feet fast. Dribble has another meaning, so including "basketball" clarifies what you mean.

Thank you.

how about: when I do painting, I wear a hat. If this is wrong, then when you say, 'let's do some painting' is painting a verb or a noun indicating a painting?

Let's make a painting. ( A painting is an art work created with a brush and paints.)
The room needs painting, and I need a project. So let's do some painting. (Painting - a noun - refers to an activity. )

When I paint, I wear a hat. (Paint is a verb here.)
