Explanation:
Watch some girls going wild video ads, this is exactly what Czech girls do when they are vodvazane, here it is probably used as adjective about some music or dance - vodvazovy tanec

Thank you very much! This gives me the clearest idea.
I suppose it's sort of RAVE-y, as Jan suggests. Perhaps the adjective vodvazový is applied to quite a lot of things these days.
