I know it is said at a toast or when they are dancing, but I am trying to find a specific definition and I am unable to find one online so far. Thank you for any help.

Opa, is not a word
so it cannot be translated
you can say that it is an expletive, which is used to express happines and spirit ascension, specially in celebration time-
it is an "invitation" for joyfull times
and guess what! it really works!
you must see the Greeks in action to understand this better!
Regards

It's like "Cheers!" or "To your health!"
