"Corner" does not appear to be well defined from the ending position of that
Dosido - normally for a Corner the Lady would look Right.
In Give & Take it specifies Dosido 1 & 1/4 which makes it clearer - the
person now beside you who you did not Dosido, i.e. the one on your left is
the one you Allemande.
I would just say Allemande Left on the Left Diagonal.
Happy dancing,
John
