Semicolons and dashes are not interchangeable.
Semicolons are used for basically two purposes:
(a) To join two clauses that could each stand as an independent sentence, but which you want to tie together. A semicolon is an alternative to having two separate sentences, or two sentences connected with a conjunction.
