Aahz,
Nice dance. There are some great transitions and ideas in this dance
and I look forward to calling it soon.
With that said, I don't put your dance in the 'flowing' category.
The two right and left thrus aren't flowing for the men in particular
and especially if they are danced with a tradition courtesy (men move
forward and then back for the courtesy turns). Right and left
through for me, have sort of a stop and start feel when compared with
a hey.
I think the moves in the B1 are not flowing but are not bad flow either.
If flow is your bag, maybe substitute two half heys for the 2 right
and left thrus in the A1 although the flow into the circle left 3/4
may be interesting......
and consider this for the B1:
B1 Half hey (men left), men allemande left once and a half.

Separate from Tom's comments/change, I like the original B1 sequence
snippet with the Calif. Twirl into the G's Lt. 1+1/2.
However, I don't see the double progression... as I read it, you progress
in A1 and then all the play is with your current (new) neighbors until the
dance begins again.

The action in A1 is a double progression.
>>> A1 Right-and-left thru on left diagonal
(8)
>>> (Yes, start with progression)
>>> (Warn ends about not moving)
>>> Right-and-left thru new couple (8)
You pass one new neighbor couple during the diagonal Right And Left
Thru (and don't do anything else with them), then spend the rest of
the dance with your second new neighbor couple.
Another way to see that it's a double progression (or some even
number of progressions) is to note that the situation at the top
of the set is similar in each repeat of the dance, rather than
having a couple out at the end every other time through.

The double progression is in the A1-- a right and left through on the
diagonal is a double progression move on its own.
However, I don't see the double progression... as
I read it, you progress

the double progression may not be obvious because it happens in one move - a R&L thru
on a diagonal progresses 2 places
