I don't think this can work. The pass through to a wave (I assumed
to the
original couple the dance was started with) puts the neighbor in
your R
hand, but it's the men who would take Left hands in the middle. And
most
importantly there is no progression.
After looking the dance up, I see that the B1 and B2 are actually:
B1: Take hands in a ring.
Balance the ring (4)
Pass through to an ocean wave (4)
Balance the wave (4)
N Allemande R x1 (4)
B2: Ladies Allemande L 1+1/2 to partner (8)
Partner swing (8)
The key is that the pass through is across the set, not up and down
the set.
