Ice Twerking Digest — Issue #3: Twins on Ice carried a quiet donkey week
This week's digest is a narrower snapshot: @twinsonice_official drove the strongest verified skating-dance signal, while Disney On Ice kept Encanto in official circulation without producing a new verified donkey breakout.
This was a narrower week than the original donkey explosion. The strongest verified signal I found for June 15-22 was not a fresh Disney On Ice donkey clip; it was @twinsonice_official turning skating-dance posts into a repeatable TikTok format, with one June 20 clip crossing 1.1 million plays and 225,676 likes at collection time 1.
The donkey thread is not dead. Disney On Ice published a June 15 Jump In! article that still calls out an Encanto segment, and the Australian Magic in the Stars tour moved through Adelaide this week with Brisbane next on the official schedule 23. But the week belonged to real skaters doing meme-native dance content, not to a newly verified donkey breakout.
This week's read
| Signal | What changed this week | How strong is it? |
|---|---|---|
| Twins on Ice | @twinsonice_official posted a tight run of dance/trend clips from June 15 through June 21, led by the June 20 "#dance" post at 1,116,208 plays, 225,676 likes, 741 comments, and 28,912 shares 1. | Strongest verified weekly signal. |
| Disney On Ice | The official Jump In! page published June 15 lists an Encanto moment, while Magic in the Stars lists Adelaide for June 19-21 and Brisbane for June 26-29 23. | Relevant, but not a new donkey-specific clip. |
| YouTube and Instagram keyword checks | YouTube's relevant public results for "ice twerking" were older clips, including a 2018 skating-rink twerking challenge and a 2023 Disney On Ice donkey upload; Instagram keyword search returned no verified fresh media items in the tool results 45. | Quiet this week. |
1. Twins on Ice carried the week
The account to watch was again @twinsonice_official. The TikTok profile returned 700,779 followers, 30,498,454 total likes, and 834 videos in the platform data I collected this week 6. Their own site identifies the duo as Emilia and Letizia Macula, identical twin figure skaters and content creators from the German-Swiss border 7.
The top post in the batch is not explicitly tagged "twerking," so I would not oversell it as a pure ice-twerking clip. What makes it relevant is the mechanics: short dance phrase, rink/performance setting, twin choreography, comment bait in the caption style, and enough repeat viewing to push it well above the rest of the week's niche signals.
The main clip is here:

The interesting part is the share count. A lot of skating clips get likes because the move looks good. This one had 28,912 shares, which is the better clue that people were sending it around as a social object, not just tapping like and moving on 1.
2. The format is getting more repeatable
The week also showed how Twins on Ice are packaging the idea. The posts are not one-off stunts. They are lightweight formats: seasonal captions, football-country prompts, mirror-twin movement, and a rink-adjacent dance pose that can be understood even when the viewer does not know skating.
| Date | Post cue | Public metrics at collection time | What it says about the format |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 15 | "#twins #iceskating" | 177,571 plays; 14,304 likes; 76 comments 8 | A straight skating signal, useful as the week's baseline. |
| June 16 | "Wer gewinnt" France vs. Senegal soccer prompt | 429,364 plays; 42,224 likes; 2,583 shares 9 | The audience is being asked to choose sides, which turns a dance clip into a comment prompt. |
| June 18 | Eye emoji, "#trend" | 356,376 plays; 43,026 likes; 2,984 shares 10 | Minimal caption, still enough for the account's recurring visual language to carry it. |
| June 20 | Sun emoji, "#trend #dance" | 1,116,208 plays; 225,676 likes; 28,912 shares 1 | The week's breakout. The sharing rate is the signal. |
| June 21 | Sun emoji, "#trend #summer" | 214,978 plays; 42,553 likes; 3,809 shares 11 | A follow-up that kept the same summer/dance packaging alive. |
The June 21 follow-up shows the same packaging in a smaller, cleaner form:

That is the cultural crossover in miniature. The skating skill is still the base, but the content does not ask viewers to judge edges, rotations, or footwork. It asks them to recognize a social-video move quickly enough to share it.
3. The Disney donkey watch is officially alive, but quiet
Disney On Ice's own Jump In! article, published June 15, lists a section called "Your familia is invited to Casa Madrigal" and describes an Encanto moment with Mirabel and her family 2. That matters because the original viral donkey routine came out of the Encanto lane.
What I did not find this week was a new verified fan permalink showing the donkeys becoming the main character again. The official copy says Encanto; it does not specifically name the donkeys or the "Surface Pressure" gag in the way the old viral clips did.
So the watch item is simple: Disney's Encanto material is still in circulation, but this week's new official evidence points to show programming, not a fresh donkey-twerk meme cycle.
4. What to watch next
Three threads are worth checking before the next issue:
- Brisbane fan footage. Magic in the Stars moves to Brisbane on June 26-29, and touring weekends are when audience-shot clips usually surface 3.
- A return to explicit "twerking on ice" captions. Twins on Ice had the reach this week, but the strongest verified posts were broader dance/trend clips. If they or another creator uses the exact phrase again, that is the clearer handoff back to the core niche.
- A real second creator. Instagram keyword search did not produce a clean new item this run, and YouTube's visible matches were mostly older uploads. The next meaningful jump would be a new skater or troupe copying the format, not just more rediscovery of the same donkeys.
For now, Issue #3 is a smaller but useful snapshot: the ice-twerking internet had a quiet donkey week, while the skating-dance side kept moving.
