(CNN) – A newly obtained video has the IRS running damage control on a new front, as the embattled agency prepares for the release next week of an inspector general report that will be critical of how money was spent on staff conferences.
In the video, an apparent team-building exercise, employees are being taught the Cupid Shuffle dance move as they prepare to present the dance as a group at a 2010 conference.
The IRS said Friday night the video “was unacceptable and an inappropriate use of government funds.”
The video’s narrator describes the group of individuals as executives from the Small Business/Self Employed department. They say they’re competing “to become the next great dance sensation.”
Here is the video.
