Hi,
it's really cool that you have such a possibility! If you're a beginner there are a lot of easy exercises that you could do. It would be great if you could find somebody to show you how to do them correctly so if you could get, say, even one class per month that would help you a lot because most of the time it's really hard to explain on the internet how to correctly do something. But just to give you something to work on that should be straightforward enough here you go:
- try skating on one leg: get a bit of speed and then really try to stay as long as you can on one of the legs, preferably bringing the free leg's foot close to the working leg's knee;
- while skating on both legs (feet close to each other), bend your knees as if you wanted to squat; preferably your buttocks should touch your legs; - after you get good at that you can try to do it on one leg (get down on both and then straighten one or, even more difficult, start getting down already on one leg only);
- do "bubbles": start by standing still, feet touching. Try to push yourself in such a way that you separate your feet and then bring them back together - you should create a sort of "bubbly"/circley pattern on ice;
- same as above but try backwards; Hint: it helps a great deal if you are "bouncy" in your knees - use them, don't lock them!
- again similar to the bubbles but now keep legs together - like skiers do in slalom;
That's just from the top of my head. There are a couple of other nice exercises (e.g. patterns on the inside and outside edges, crossovers) but for those you really need to get someone to show you how to do that.
Have fun!!
