the double progression may not be obvious because it happens in one move - a R&L thru
on a diagonal progresses 2 places

Separate from Tom's comments/change, I like the original B1 sequence
snippet with the Calif. Twirl into the G's Lt. 1+1/2.
However, I don't see the double progression... as I read it, you progress
in A1 and then all the play is with your current (new) neighbors until the
dance begins again.

Aahz,
Nice dance. There are some great transitions and ideas in this dance and
I look forward to calling it soon.
With that said, I don't put your dance in the 'flowing' category. The two
right and left thrus aren't flowing for the men in particular and
especially if they are danced with a tradition courtesy (men move forward
and then back for the courtesy turns). Right and left through for me, have
sort of a stop and start feel when compared with a hey.
I think the moves in the B1 are not flowing but are not bad flow either.
If flow is your bag, maybe substitute two half heys for the 2 right and
left thrus in the A1 although the flow into the circle left 3/4 may be
interesting......
and consider this for the B1:
B1 Half hey (men left), men allemande left once and a half.
Tom
