Tina O’Brien and Ryan Thomas Salsa Their Way Through Pregnancy
When former and current Coronation Street actors Tina O’Brien and Ryan Thomas, both 24, welcome their first child in late October, the baby may just come out dancing. The pair took their first salsa lesson this past week as they participated in Manchester’s kick-off for the "Salsa Kingdom," a Latin music and dance festival. Six months pregnant, Tina was a little scared that she would "topple over" during the lessons, and "was a bit worried about doing it with my big bump," but luckily, she says, "it’s not been in the way too much." Even though she is learning to salsa, Tina is not sure if she’ll be showing off her moves at Salsa Kingdom, held September 5th through 7th.
The baby is actually due in October, so I may be sitting out the salsa in September.

Dancing is a good form of exercise for anyone. I think even a pregnant woman could benefit from dancing, as long as she doesn’t overdo it. Off topic: I got your site bookmarked

Tina looks great! I always wore my belly peeking out too, I know a lot of people don’t like the look but I did.
