Perhaps the questioner is referring to the traditional celebratory dance that's called the 'hora'. In the hora, people form a circle and either interlock their arms or hold hands. The step is called a vine step, if the circle is moving in a leftward direction, the first step is the right foot to the left in front of the left foot. The second step is to move the left foot to the left so that you shift left. The steps are repeated so that the people dancing are always moving to the left. The reverse of these steps is done if the people wish to circle to the right.
