Technically, the earth and moon both revolve around their common center of mass.

But since the earth has about 80 times as much mass as the moon has, their common center

of mass is actually inside the earth. That's why, if you watched the motions of the two bodies

from a seat located at the common center of mass, it would look to you as if the moon was

revolving around you in a large orbit, whereas the earth was barely wiggling.
