Learning to hop would be a good idea. Once you can hop there are a lot more tricks that you can learn.

I would first learn to get on the unicycle without holding on to anything and then start to practice idling.

FreeMounting!

I can tell you that for me the first next skill, was free mount.
It's just so practical and essential skill for every unicyclist.

Good luck

I started by learning off of this list: http://www.unicycletoday.com/skill-levels.html

I don't really intend to learn everything on the list, but it was a good place for me to start and build some skills. Once you've had enough, learn whatever interests you (I, for example, will be taking up MUni sometime soon, and I'd like to learn some flatland style riding).
