I think the waltz is regarded as sexy and romantic through its
connection to late-19th century continental culture.  Because the
tectonic forces of the 2 world wars were building at the same time as
there was sort of a gilded culture in the aging empires, there comes to
be a sentimentality attached to romance during that time frame.  It is
captured in operettas by Strauss and Lehar (and modern stuff like The
Student Prince).  It is a world that disappeared, was smashed, by modern
war, but it can be recalled through the elegance of waltzing.  And is.
