I believe the allemandes must be only one-half in the A1 in order to
fit the number of beats:
A1 (4) Balance
(2) P allm right one-half, (2) gents allm left one-half
(4) Balance the wave
(4) N allm right 3/4
It seems that the ladies who catch left hands at the end of the B2,
are the same two ladies from the hey. This makes it single
progression; if the ladies go on to new ladies, the dance would then
be double progression.
Looks like fun! I hope to try it out soon.
