The transition from Star Right to Allemande Right with same neighbors
actually flows pretty nicely. You can see a dance with that transition
in this video:

[Note: At the beginning the camera shows only the stage area. It pans
to show the dancers at about 1:40. A while later it pans back to the
stage then back to dance floor again.]
The dance in the video, "You're Among Friends" by Bob Isaacs, is based
on "Al's Safeway Produce" by Robert Cromartie. "Al's Safeway
Produce"
is the first contra in which I recall seeing this sort of transition
(in that case from a left hand star to a left allemande).

I do not write contra dances, but is the Star Right
really followed
by Allemande Right? To a square dancer, it seems awkward two RH
movements.
