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,
