I've been dancing for 11 years, but want to try something new (Contemporary). Is it too late?

I've been dancing Latin Ballroom and Salsa for the past 12 years. I have had difficulty finding a partner for competitions and have decided to move on to something else. I was thinking of taking up contemporary/modern/jazz and was wondering if it was too late to start (I'm 18). I was also wondering whether I should first take basic ballet classes to build a better technical foundation, or would that just be really weird at this age?

ALSO any good dance studios in Los Angeles area that are for older people but offer foundation classes as well? Is the EDGE a good place to start for someone like me?
Sorry for the mix-up in the title. It's 12 years, I just failed at doing the math when I wrote the title.

For the types of dance you mentioned you need ballet first. Contemporary dance has no real technique of it's own and relies on the techniques of both ballet and modern dance. It is the choreographer that makes it contemporary by adding his own dance vocabulary. There is no one single contemporary style or way to approach this type of work. Although recreational studios offer classes in contemporary,it is just one teachers point of view as to what it is. For some reason competition and recreational studios think it involves lots of multiple pirouettes and tricks which are rarely if ever used in professional contemporary dance.
Find yourself an adult beginner or teen/adult beginner ballet class. You will find there is a lot of opportunity to learn ballet at your age. You were correct in thinking you need ballet first before going into these other genres. The Edge is a commercial dance focus and you might not get the individual attention that you need because it is a kind of a factory with over crowded classes. Try Anheim Ballet school. They work a lot with older students learning ballet.
