Rickey,
I have never tried the B2 you offered, as I too thought it might be awkward.
Fortunately, Lisa Greenleaf offered what she said was the original B2 on
this list a few months ago:
Women Do-si-do 1.5 to face current neighbor,
Gypsy neighbor right 1+ to progress to new neighbor.
I've found that to be pretty easy to teach and to dance.
The B2 with two right-hand allemandes might indeed be fun, but I expect you
would have to mindful that there will be dancers thinking "this is wrong."
Which brings up the whole issue of fun ways to project confidence that "yes,
this is how it goes" or even "here's the fun part."

The dance notation is followed by my understanding of some of the other
parts as well. If you have time take a look. I would love your comments
on
this too. My main concern at this point however is with that second
allemande right. It seems like it should be an allemande left.
