You may have seen this, too...for years, I've considered A1 as Plus Plus or Advanced Lite. In the years where conventions have scheduled A1 as a viable level, it's often been the worst attended halls with the least proficiency of the dancers.
Part of that may be that A1 is more like a stepping stone on the way to getting through intensive lessons through A2, and the dancers haven't developed any proficiency at that marking point.
Mostly, I just call the A2 program "Advanced"...occasionally, when I announce an Advanced tip, I'll get someone coming up to me that was only partly through A1, thinking that's what I was calling.

Sigh.
