Particularly the really sexy kind where the guy sweeps the girl around in a circle. I'm just curious... My guess is that it's the tango, but I wanted to know how many other dances can involve lots of dips :)

I think they are called drops. Rumba and Paso Doble have the most drops, in my opinion.
Salsa can have dips/drops as well. There is one figure that is called Death Drop. It look pretty impressive if done well. Salsa (for performance, not social) can incorporate all sorts of elements, not only dips. It can be lifts and drops.
International Tango (or Waltz or Foxtrot for that matter) doesn't have any dips, it has so-called "line figures". Unless you do Theater Arts version of it, where you can do pretty much whatever you want. Line figures look very nice, but as opposed to a drop, the lady is fully supporting her own weight. If the guy were to let go she wouldn't fall on the floor. In a drop, she still supports most of her own weight, but not all of it. If the guy were to let go she'd stuggle very hard to regain balance or fall alltogether. Among Standard dances, Tango is the most dramatic. Even a simple Contracheck might look like a "dip".

Probably the Tango.
There are a lot of lunges so it makes it pretty easy to "dip" a lot. For instance, the Tango Swoop: The flyer leans back (torso horizontal) and moves in a circle and then returns to vertical.
Good luck!

Viennese waltz offers that look, even though there are not any precise spins in any respect. The YouTube clip in Beckee's reply is a Viennese waltz. Normally, even though, whilst one says "waltz," gradual waltz involves brain first.
