Dashes

Can dashes be used correctly in place of commas to show action in your sentences?

 

eg:  The dragon beat his wings, clouds of dust flying up, the elves ducking for cover as he lifted from the ground.

 

or should I be rewriting this sentence in a different way to show the action happening?
