As you have seen from the responses, the answer is NO.

however, using psuedocode (so don't tell me it won't compile--:-)) ..

in C:

  loop statement
     if (conditional on iterator)
        continue;
     end if;

     more code
  end loop

you must INVERT the logic in ada:

  loop statement
    if NOT (conditional on iterator)
       more code
    end if
  end loop

both these will skip 'more code' on the test of an iterator
