Or swat the flea instead of box the gnat.  Then there wouldn't be a hand switch into the allemande.

Hmmm. How about, rather than ring balance:
 neighbor balance, box the gnat, 
 switch to left hands, allemand 1 1/2

This might have some educational benefit, as I imagine it's going to be painfully awkward unless you give decent weight.

I'm not entirely clear on what's happening in B2 1-4.  One possible stumbling point, though, is that pass-throughs are almost always by the right shoulder, so you'll need to come up with a really strong way to teach that it's left (LEFT, no, the _other_ left).
