The school based in Bowral will mark the occasion on March 3 - its official 20th birthday at the premises.
THSPA owner Karen Stanton, saw the need for a hub where eager performers could learn dance, music and drama.
When the opening day came, people lined up around the block to get into a class.
More than 5000 students have gained confidence and honed in on their skills at the school since opening, and have become ballerinas, aspiring actors and hip hop dancers.
The performance hub has showcased their skills at community events over the years such as Relay for Life, the Moss Vale Show, Angels in Our Town, and The Long Lunch.

It is an over 18 celebration, which kicks off at 7pm.
