Do you mean ‘continue’ which re-tests the condition or more like Perl's
‘redo’ which re-starts the loop's body?
‘The "redo" command restarts the loop block without evaluating the
conditional again. The "continue" block, if any, is not executed.’
— perldoc -f redo
So like a ‘goto redo’ in
while (...) {
redo:
...
if (...)
goto redo
...
}

Cheers, Ralph.
