Hi Don,
Is the picture still on Google Drive? I can't see it. :-(
I'm quite interested in seeing it. Some years ago, Lisa Greenleaf taught a healthy
allemande hold, and I'm curious to know if yours is the same or different. I find
there is a surprising level of disagreement on the topic.

BTW, for allemandes I use a connection that I picked up somewhere in my
contra travels (which sounds a lot like some of he best practices described
to this point). I find this to be fairly common where I dance. As a picture
is worth a thousand words, here it is (note I'm torqued slightly in these
due to holding the camera with the other hand for the photo -- the normal
connection is neutral and unstressed but results in good weight):
