Thanks for sharing John.
This seems a hair's breadth away from being a square dance. Is there a
reason to run it as a "contra" rather than a "square"? Or do you find
the
distinction doesn't really matter?

I took Luke’s Double Contra and, since I often work
with small groups,
made it into a Four Couple Dance:
Luke’s Tunnel (by John Sweeney/Luke Donforth)
Four Couples; Longways; Becket
Start in Side Lines; Number the positions as in a Square Dance
A1: Neighbour Balance & Box the Gnat - keep right hand high to make a
Tunnel
Couple at #1s position go through the Tunnel
Other End Couple go through the Tunnel
A2: Ends (went through Tunnel together) & Sides (i.e NOT the person you
are holding hands with): Dosido & Swing – finish in a Square
B1: Into the Middle, on the way back Men Roll Current Partner Away with a
Half Sashay
Men Star Right to Partner
B2: Partner Gypsy & Swing – finish in Head Lines
Next time those in #2s position go through first and you finish in Side
Lines - four times through lets everyone be the first Tunneler
Happy dancing,
John
