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."
