No, it occurs every four years. The last one was in 2008 (making 2012 the next one, obviously). The establishment of leap years into the calendar is due the time it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun - it is not precisely 366 days (the time of a normal year), but approximately 365.2422 days. Since .2422 is almost 1/4 (it's 24%), that means that every four years, we lose an entire day. Therefore, we give February an extra day every four years in order to make up for that, so the calendar will align with the seasons much more accurately.
