In my experience the momentum of an allemande right automatically takes one either to the right or forward. Same goes for an allemande left: momentum takes you to the left or forward. A balance left just doesn't flow after am AR, because if you have a good connection with your allemande you're already pulling to the left a bit. That leaves you nowhere to go, left-wise. SO! I agree with the multitudes here: make the balance F&B.
