Can you use dumbelss for deadlifts?

Hello, all,
Newbie here! Today will be my very first exercise—Stage One, Workout A.
I plan to do Workout B on Saturday (including the deadlifts). I am going to be doing the program from home, and I have an extensive dumbell set (hubby's!), but no barbells.

Can I get through the program, at least in Stage One, using dumbells for deadlifts (and for weighted squats, etc.) as long as I keep good form?

Any advice is appreciated!

I think the consensus is 'no' for using DB's for deads:

During Deadlift, What should I feel in my back?

If the choice were DB DL or no DL, I'd go for DB DL but sumo style (wider stance, hands inside knees). It isn't the same, but probably is closer to the intent than skipping DL altogether. But that's probably just me.

Thanks, Ladies!
I will probably pick up a barbell for future use.
