I believe the allemandes must be only one-half in the A1 in order to fit the number of beats:
A1  (4) Balance
      (2) P allm right one-half,  (2) gents allm left one-half
       (4) Balance the wave
       (4) N allm right 3/4

It seems that the ladies who catch left hands at the end of the B2, are the same two ladies from the hey. This makes it single progression; if the ladies go on to new ladies, the dance would then be double progression.

Looks like fun! I hope to try it out soon.
