Eye of the Storm
A duple improper, double progression contra.
This dance is difficult to visualise, but flows remarkably well--try it! The dance was composed in 1985 as Hurricane Gloria was going overhead; Dan writes "You may want to include a link to the Hurricane Gloria Storm Track GIF file."

Dan notes, "You only do the second 1/2 hey with the second couple before you move on. That's it!" The dance was previously published in the CDSS newsletter.
