<b>Who:</b> Synthia Link, 22 <br>
<b>L.I. Tie:</b> Lindenhurst resident<br>
<b>Gig:</b> Rockette in the "Radio City Christmas Spectacular," opening Nov. 7<br>
<br>
It's the dream of many a little girl to join the line with the world's most famous precision dance troupe, the Radio City Rockettes. That dream came true for Link, who begins her second year as a Rockette with this season's classic. Link began dancing at age 3 and trained at the June Claire School of Dance in Babylon. "I always wanted to be a Rockette," she says. "My greatest memory was my first performance in the 'Christmas Spectacular.' Being onstage and hearing the audience cheer when the Rockettes appeared was the most indescribable feeling I have ever experienced."<br>
