    You mean halay?

    Here's some info on halay from wikipedia.

    Typically, Halay dancers form a circle or a line, while holding each other with the little finger or shoulder to shoulder or even hand to hand with the last and first player holding a piece of cloth — usually called "mendil" (from Arabic).

    The Halay has spread from Anatolia to many other regions, such as Armenia and the Balkans. It is a national dance in Turkey and Armenia

    The only thing that came to my mind was Sirtaki (Greek). Too many folk dances include holding hands dancing in the circle... I gave it my best shot with the search engine, see if this page has what you're looking for. http://datafox.org/greek/rh-chasapiko.html

    This is called the, "Numa numa dance." Just type in, "numa numa dance," on yahoo or Google to see the video. Have fun at the wedding!
