You raise once leg and balance and glide on one foot. If you are right footed raise your right foot up and vice versa for left footed. Straighten both knees, and raise your free leg (leg in the air) to at least hip height or 90 degrees. Turn your foot horizontal to the ice, point your foot, and hold leg in that position for as long as intended or desired.
In order to successfully do a spiral, you need to always keep your shoulders and head up before and during the duration. The center of your upper body needs to be directly over your skating foot if you are wanting to achieve a straight edged spiral, however if you are wanting to do a spiral on a inside or outside edge you will need to to further exaggerate your upper body position meaning if you wanted to do say a forward left outside spiral your upper body would need to be leaning more on the left side of your skating foot. Keeping your arms out is also helpful. If you have a tendency to fall forward when learning a spiral try keeping on arm in front of you to prevent any damage if you fall forward over your toe pick. Once you have that down bring both your arms out and back squeezing your shoulder blades together. This not only helps our balance but gives you nice pretty lines.
First go in to a scratch spin but drop your butt lower, then swing your leg around to the front, crossed over the leg you are spinning on. Bring both your arms in front of your body and rest them on your now crossed legs. Yes it will take you a while to master but keep on trying and don't feel bad if you fall, almost everyone does
