Whilst applauding the willingness to improve and learn I am not sure that you can get everything you want from self study. Some of the footwork you describe should be leadable by the leader (d'uh!) and really leave you no choice in what to do. But that's not to say you can't polish the technique - practice ensurring that weight is transferred fully between steps and not getting caught in 'no-(wo)man's land' (unless of course it's a rock step where you'd want to practice not fully committing) Ochoes and some other steps require a good sense of balance and some disassociation (?) of upper body and hips/legs and you could practice that just leaning against a wall.
Sorry, bit rambly but lots of work to do and shouldn't even be on here really
