Hi, I wanted to take a newbie up on some ice to let them try it. Does anybody have a recommendation for an area that meets at least most of the following requirements?

Don't know where you are from but here in the Springs, there is short easy ice in Cheyenne Canon. Drive up to Helen Hunt falls area. I don't know how "in" it is cause I haven't been there at all this "winter" (like we've had one here). I have done solo laps on it in the past and got bored. It's maybe 40 feet high with easy to set topropes. Easy approach too. I have never seen it crowded except for maybe 3 other people. I have seen local guides bring clients there. I think last year or the year before someone tried some ice farming up there. It made it a lot better, but I think the city made him take it down cause it was a liability(??)(someone correct me if I am wrong on this.) Hope this helps.
I'd just bite the bullet & go up to Lincoln Falls with a few people. The right side (the flows to the right of the Scottish Gully) works for what you are needing to do.
