Is there a way to go back to any previous step?

Is there a way to define the next step using the fluent api, I somehow managed this in the JSON format using the next step ID, but is it possible using the fluent api ?
Below flow is my requirement..

START
step1
step2
Loop condition1
    step3
    if(condition2) 
         GOTO Step1/2   // ( go back to start/step 1/2)
END

Am I missing any primitive step here or is there a hack to do the above flow using loops/other steps ?

I believe you could break the fluent chain up into multiple variables that you can chain back together later... doing this will allow you to produce a reference to a step that you can reuse with a Next

For example, this would create in infinite loop

var step1 = builder.StartWith<HelloWorld>();
step1.Then(step1);

Thanks a lot, splitting up the fluent chain gives me the flexibility to do the above workflow requirement.

If we want to set up a finite loop number, for example, if loop number > 5, break and finish workflow, I think it will be more flexible.
Besides that, could we combine a "wait" event with if/else step? For example, wait an approval, if success -> DoA, if failure, do B?
