Hello Mo,
It's probably right that progression was not there originally. Here, a 1P2P line
formation (facing couples) or a line of three formationwith a single or lonesome dancer at
the open sides, would not change partners.
Example is Hurry Hurry with a "chain the route" from Square Dance History -
still an active dance.

I don't like dancing Yellow Rose of Texas
http://www.contrafusion.co.uk/Dances/EFDS6312-TheYellowRoseofTexas.html from 2nd position
because 2nd lady is always next to the active couple.Used to think "that dance must
have been written by a man", but am told that the progression was added later.Never
thought to 'fix' it by each man leading twice - hmm - that would give you your
partner back.Mo Waddington

Regarding single active dances such as Uptown/Downtown or Golden Slippers each
position is active twice before relinquishing.
So it's "same ole gent with a brand new girl" down the center etc. All
lady positions active equally at the end of the dance.

Normally it’s not good practice to combine a partner change with a
one-couple-active figure. Uptown, Downtown is a prime example: If each couple is called
out once, the same lady is active four times and no other lady is active at all. But in
the Jitterbug figure, the “active” and “passive” couples do basically the same thing, so
it doesn’t matter as much who is officially active. The “push her away” action is the
same as the patter figure “Step right back and watch her smile, step right up and swing
her awhile.” >From a swing Tony Parkes Billerica, Mass.
