Have a
Can someone say:
You can have a dance. Or Have a dance while you wait. What about:
Let's have a jog, Let's have a run?
Since dance is also a noun it isn't grammatically incorrect, right?
Thank you.

So all the examples above are wrong?
But what about, "Let's have a talk." It's the same structure as the other sentences so how come the others are wrong?
