Hi Luke,
There’s only one move (start of B1) done in a square, the one you
are in a square at that point with isn’t your partner, and you don’t start the
dance in a square, so, no, I wouldn’t call it a square.
Happy dancing,
John

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 Original 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
