Practicing footwork turns off-ice

[Flying Feijoa]

Would anyone have tips on practicing difficult turns such as rockers/counters/loops (the figures kind) off-ice?
We'll have limited ice time (maybe 1 hour/week if lucky) for the next month or so, but I can't afford off-ice figure skates at the moment. I can do off-ice jumps or spin positions without problems, but things like footwork/skating skills don't seem to translate well to dry land. The only idea I can think of is hopping/pivoting around on one foot while trying to imagine doing the turn...

I recently bumped into some YouTube videos while searching for improving spiral leg stretch.
They are not the turns you mentioned but perhaps these can be of some help and the instructor has many more videos:

There are a lot of coaches doing edge off ice classes as well virtually. Here are two that I know of but I’m sure there are lots more!
