A1 allemande feels more like once and a quarter, but it's notated here as once and a half since gentlespoons do cross the set.
I haven't tested it, but you should be able to alternate with the twos doing a half figure 8 up through the ones and going up the hall to start. The half fig. 8 plus the turn as a couple in the center just cancel each other out and going up the hall to start should end with the twos above the ones before the California twirl.

I’m not sure this is original because it seems so simple and obvious that it’s probably been done before, but I’ll claim it until someone tells me otherwise. Written in the five minutes between leaving my workplace and getting home. Not a particularly special dance, but functional as a teaching tool.
