Square Dancing Origami Tessellation

Origami Tessellation Square Dancing Front

I haven't posted an advanced tessellation in a while. So here is a new one. It's an unusual pattern that also features some very small folds. There are tiny rhombuses and compressed triangles with which to contend. It is an original origami tessellation that I just recently created.

The main shape is a six sided polygon of alternating edges. One pleat bisecting the grid, then one pleat following it and so on until you close the loop.

One the other side are open back hexagons and some oblong six sided parallelogram-ish shapes. 

When I folded it the small rhombuses weren't actually on the front at first. It was after I had completed it that I realized I could reverse some of the folds to bring them up to the top. 

There are some very tight folds and also some very small ones, which is why I believe this to be an advanced tessellation

Evenso, I actually used thin printer paper because I figured thick paper would never let me make some of the tighter/smaller folds. Your mileage may differ. 

My crease pattern is not that great. It's just a photo of my first (unsuccessful) attempt with some creases highlighted. But it certainly gives the gist and the important details.
